When My Love Crosses Over
We made a pact Lying there on our backs Swearing to every star That the sky did hold Promising our love was true Promising to see it through Then we headed due Southwest Across the Muscle Shoals We slid down a riverbank In the pouring rain giving thanks For the strength just to carry on Through the fog and the cold There at the water's edge She tugged my arm And I nodded my head Just one more step And that river took a hold When my love crosses over I'm coming over too To cross that mighty river that's before us To the new western world Mountains high and plain unfurled SongtexteDesert stretching out to touch the Californias We said we'd never look back We never have and that's a fact That Mississippi washed us clean Down to the bone The journey's been long my friend Hell, you never know what state you're in Yeah, but the unknown It's always the unknown When my love crosses over I'm coming over too To cross that mighty river that's before us To the new western world Mountains high and plain unfurled Desert stretching out to touch the Californias I lost track of you a while But you were waiting for me with a smile Made me feel like a little child With a brand new view Let's do it all over babe It'd just be another trip we made When my love crosses over I'm coming too Aus Songtexte Mania
