Northern Cross

歌詞

I've gone running from the devil, at times I've beaten down his path I've seen the fight of the dove and I've stumbled my way back Miles and miles of interstate, nights not meant to last I can take this road all the way to Tulsa, but I cannot stop my yearning for you They say a simple life's the best, but you would never know The way we complicate this world, lions' king, the lamb lies low All I wanted was your love, the taste of your sweet kiss The river may flow deep and wide but I cannot stop my longing for this So meet me on Red Mountain, lace of laurel, bed of moss Where the wind's forever howling beneath that Northern Cross When that final deal goes down I'll gladly pay the cost If my soul could be a station high upon that northern cross Then I would have a bird's eye view, I'd watch you night and day In casting off my mortal self, maybe all this yearning will go away Oh meet me on Red Mountain, lace of laurel, bed of moss Where the wind's forever howling beneath that Northern Cross Old memories have faded, nearly all of them are lost Except for your face shining beneath that Northern Cross.
