Artist: Big Country Album: Individual Songs

I forget how it started but everyone knew of the cause
Hard out of the sun with a vengeance and all was then lost

They crawled into homes and yet all of the old ways were gone
It left nothing to run to but no one can help how they're drawn

We will all fall together
A black sky in the rain
And you can laugh and I will sing
We've changed forever

Survivors set out on a trail in the search for salvation
Looking for remnants of sense in the end of a nation

We will all fall together
A black sky in the rain
And you can laugh and I will sing
We've changed forever

All fall together
A black sky in the rain
And you can laugh and I will sing
We've changed forever

All came together and steadied themselves on the shore
Knowing the terror would find them much worse than before

We will all fall together
A black sky in the rain
And you can laugh and I will sing
We've changed forever

Nothing to live for and nothing more left of your pride
Can you face all the black in your heart that will not be denied

We will all fall together
A black sky in the rain
And you can laugh and I will sing
We've changed forever

We will all fall together
A black sky in the rain
And you can laugh and I will sing
We've changed forever

We will all fall together
A black sky in the rain
And you can laugh and I will sing
We've changed forever

All the rain came down on a cold new town as he carried you away
From your father's hand that always seemed like a fist, reaching out to make you pay

He came like a hero from the factory floor with the sun and moon as gifts
But the only son you ever saw were the two he left you with
Oh, lord - where did the feeling go
Oh, lord - I never felt so low

Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head that you never knew you were young
Because you played chance with a lifetime's romance and the price was far too long
Oh, lord - where did the feeling go
Oh, lord - I never felt so low
Oh, lord - where did the feeling go
Oh, lord - I never felt so low

Oh, lord - where did the feeling go
Oh, lord - I never felt so low

Oh, lord - where did the feeling go
Oh, lord - I never felt so low
Oh, lord - where did the feeling go
Oh, lord - I never felt so low
Oh, lord - where did the feeling go

I feel the way the wind blows, it tells me where you've been through
I watch the way the sun sets until the night's inside you
Some days I just don't worry, I let it pour through me
Some days I need to bury the very depths of me
So I wait out here to the east of eden, I let salvation be
I was waiting, I was watching - would it ever be there for me 
When I felt that hope and a lucky card were all I had to walk with me
Had to walk with me

I watch the way the crow flies and though it all seems so easy
But if I see it in a grey sky can I be sure about the way it leaves me
Some days I just don't worry, I let it pour through me
Some days I call upon the very depths of me
So I wait out here to the east of eden, I watch your soul run free
I was waiting, I was watching - would it ever be there for me 
When I felt that hope and a lucky card were all I had to walk with me
I was waiting, I was watching - would it ever be there for me 
When I felt that hope and a lucky card were all I had to walk

Some days will stay a thousand years
Some pass like the flash of spark
Who knows where all our days go
Out here we lie together, outside the thunder gathers
Why care about the weather, it always ends in dark

I looked west in search of freedom and I saw slavery
I looked east in search of answers and I saw misery
Some days I just don't worry, I let it pour through me
Some days I walk into the very depths of me
So I wait out here to the east of eden, I let my conscience be
I was waiting, I was watching - would it ever be there for me 
When I felt that hope and a lucky card were all I had to walk with me

One, two, one, two, three, four


Beween a father and a son
Between the city and the one
Before the teacher and the test
Before the journey and the rest
The shining eye will never cry
The beating heart will never die
The house of fire holds no shame
I will be coming home again

Four hundred miles - without a word until you smile
Four hundred miles - on fields of fire

Between the woman and the boy
Between the child and his toy

Between the woman and a boy
Between the child and a toy
Before the falling of the west
Before the journey and the rest

Four hundred miles - without a word until you smile
Four hundred miles - without a word until you smile
Four hundred miles - on fields of fire

I never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside, stay alive

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside, stay alive
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside, stay alive

So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside, stay alive
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside, stay alive
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside, stay alive

This time we run, this time we hide
This time we draw on all the fire we have inside
We need some time to find a place
Where I can wipe away the madness from your face

Our name is out, our name is known
Our name is everywhere, but who knows where we're flown
I never meant to kill a man
But I will show you how to live like no one can

So, look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul

I met you wild in a snowed up town
When I was waiting, tied and bound to be sent down
Then I broke loose, you weren't around
So I raised banks and trains until I tracked you down

Now, look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul

You followed me why I said no
You lay with me when there was nowhere safe to go
We made some friends, but now it's done
I always knew that we would never find the sun

So, look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul

Now, look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul
