Big Country
The Crossing [B-Side]
Maps on the back of your handsPoint to the crossScratches on walls in a roomDraw out your lossYour islands are conquered and you are returnedTo the throneMartyrs take penance and fill up the mattressWith stonesChorusPull straws with holy menStain all the atlas pinkAnd let us find a beachWhere we can cross our heartsStand in the wind as the carousels spinWear out your welcome againStand in the silence of mountains andWear out your welcome againMornings hit hard with an uncontrollable lightPiercing the senses that click deep in the nightCrouched in a pillow of straw feet on the floorCreeping a path to the mat that holds back the doorChorusSongtexteBuild up great railways that run through the horns of the moonHold up a city with cast-iron museum wallsExplain your machines to the boys feed them with toolsBring out the skill in your skin polish your hairChorusStand in the wind as the carousels spinWear out your welcome againStand on the silence of mountains andTake your rib down to the seaStand in the wind as the carousels spinWear out your welcome againStand on the silence of mountains andTake your rib down to the sea
