the snake the cross the crown - behold the river lyrics

Loading...

well if both of these horses just a lay up and die
he thinks to himself as he stares into the sun
his companion’s been bleedin’ and is weepin’ to himself
thinking oh my sweet sue
i won’t be a comin’ home now

as them train tracks keep runnin’ up that ever gentle slope
margaret anne hangs her head
and just keeps wondering what’s good
her companions been bleedin’ and is weepin’ to himself
thinking oh my sweet sue
i won’t be a comin’ home now

that day that the rain came and just rose the flag of war
mother jones lays in bed, his children lyin’ on the floor
and she got by, standin’ in the churchyard singing hallelujah
sweepin’ out the bats from the bells of her voice

who is she?
i am the river and i will take you to the see
and we got by
floating, in the water singing, hallelujah
waiting, on the lord
to bring us back home
you left us too soon
and i, i know what you’ll do

someone knocks in the back at the door
oh, why’d you come?
were you lookin’ for more?
don’t speak

then the sharp steel rattle of your head on the floor
oh, it got lost in the sound of the war
don’t stay

someone knocks in the back at the door
oh, why’d you come?
were you lookin’ for more?
don’t speak

then the sharp steel rattle of your head on the floor
oh, it got lost in the sound of the war
don’t leave

and, oh, you left us too soon
now there’s two men ridin’ up
both wonderin’ who is he
one says sir, i’ve observed you ridin’ up behind’a me
now them children hear em headed up around the bend
crying, ma, best come on, here come our fathers back to bed

- the snake the cross the crown lyrics
