A Crack In The Clouds - Julian Cope

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
