Big Country - The Crossing
Maps on the back of your hands
point to the cross
Scratches on walls in a room
draw out your loss
Your islands are conquered and
you are returned to the throne
Martyrs take penance
and fill up the mattress with stones
Pull straws with holy men
Stain all the atlas pink
And let us find a beach
Where we can cross our hearts
Stand in the wind as the carousels spin
Wear out your welcome again
Stand on the silence of mountains and
Wear out your welcome again
Mornings hit hard with an uncontrollable light
Piercing the senses that click deep in the night
Crouched in a pillow of straw feet on the floor
Creeping a path to the mat
that holds back the door
Pull straws with holy men
Stain all the atlas pink
And let us find a beach
Where we can cross our hearts
Build up great railways that run
through the horns of the moon
Hold up a city with cast iron museum walls
Explain your machines to the boys
feed them with tools
Bring out the skill in your skin
polish your hair
Pull straws with holy men
Stain all the atlas pink
And let us find a beach
Where we can cross our hearts
Stand in the wind as the carousels spin
Wear out your welcome again
Stand on the silence of mountains
And take a look down to the sea
Stand in the wind as the carousels spin
Wear out your welcome again
Stand on the silence of mountains
And take a look down to the sea
point to the cross
Scratches on walls in a room
draw out your loss
Your islands are conquered and
you are returned to the throne
Martyrs take penance
and fill up the mattress with stones
Pull straws with holy men
Stain all the atlas pink
And let us find a beach
Where we can cross our hearts
Stand in the wind as the carousels spin
