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 |
