A Crack In the Clouds

A cold breeze climbs up the edge of a cloud
And follows me to the river
I stand and sigh, weighed down with chains
They follow me in columns

They'll not see port, this north sea wind
And like the river I flow through
I die, die down at water's edge
And love you till I fall down

Oh no, oh no, oh no
Let sunshine, sunshine flow
Winds guide you, winds guide you
Come home, home, home, come home

You row out to meet me, I was chained
That current's strong I guess
And Christian spy plane overhead
But I would not confess

I arrive in the next world, with hate in my heart
And eager for my crown
And hold you up for all to see
For I can't put you down

Oh no, no, no, I float into view
My heart seems paralysed
Inside I dream of loves incomplete
Men hound you, they just do
Men hound you, they just do

A quiet village boy takes leave of his life
And walks off into the mountains
Come back to me, come close and let me
Love you till I fall down

Oh no, no, no, I won't let you down
Don't understand my heart
Inside I dream I've torn you away
Don't fall, don't die, don't end

Oh no, no, no, I float into view
My heart seems paralysed
Inside I dream of loves incomplete
Men hound you, they just do
Men hound you, they just do
