Lyrics for The Silent Crossing by Walkabouts:
| | | Artist: | Walkabouts |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Silent Crossing | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 177 | | | | Lyrics: | The sunset reaches to you
With its long talons
The new stars showin' pity
For the
fallen
It drags you back up to your feet
Leaves you ready to deceive
Leaves you
standing at the silent crossing
Telephone poles race against the cold sky
Your rusty
hair covers up your one good eye
The ground expects uncertain rain
Fools have waited,
though it never came
Waited in the silence of the crossin'
Hidden in them big armed
ponderosas
The crossing obscured
By its own remoteness
Your mouth harp fashioned from
tobacco tins
Played "Soldier's Of Joy"
Till your breath went thin
Played for no one,
at the silent crossin'
(inst.)
Trouble's ear was cupped,
So he could hear
you
Said those that break the silence
Break their own rules
Said fools are those that
trust their fears
Sagebrush growin' up around their heels
Fools are those that plant seeds
at the crossin'
It was a mile past the dark
When I came upon you
Reservations
grave
Expectations humble
You drew upon your corn-skinned smoke
Your jaw was tired,
said it's time to go
You said it's time to move beyond the crossing
It's time to move
beyond the silent crossing
(inst.)
If there's a darker part of night
We
best go find it
If there's a darker part of night
We best go find it
We better find
it, we better find it
We'd best go find it | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
