Track Lyrics
Foi na cruz Lyrics
[Chorus]
Foi na cruz, foi na cruz
Que um dia
Meus pecados castigados em Jesus
Foi na cruz
Que um dia
Foi na cruz
[Verse 1]
Love comes a-knocking
Comes a-knocking upon our door
But you, you and me, love
We don't live there any more
[Chorus]
Foi na cruz, foi na cruz
Que um dia
Meus pecados castigados em Jesus
Foi na cruz
Que um dia
Foi na cruz
[Verse 2]
A little sleep, a little slumber
A little folding of the hands to sleep
A little love, a little hate, babe
A little trickery and deceit
[Chorus]
Foi na cruz, foi na cruz
Que um dia
Meus pecados castigados em Jesus
Foi na cruz
Que um dia
Foi na cruz
[Verse 3]
Dream on 'till you can dream no more
For all our great plans, babe
Will be dreams forever more
[Chorus]
Foi na cruz, foi na cruz
Que um dia
Meus pecados castigados em Jesus
Foi na cruz
Que um dia
Foi na cruz
Foi na cruz, foi na cruz
Que um dia
Meus pecados castigados em Jesus
Foi na cruz
Que um dia
Foi na cruz
Foi na cruz, foi na cruz
Que um dia
Meus pecados castigados em Jesus
Foi na cruz
Que um dia
Foi na cruz
Foi na cruz, foi na cruz
Que um dia
Meus pecados castigados em Jesus
Foi na cruz
Que um dia
Foi na cruz
Foi na cruz, foi na cruz
Que um dia
Meus pecados castigados em Jesus
Foi na cruz
Que um dia
Foi na cruz
Lament Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've seen your fairground hair
Your seaside eyes
Your vampire tooth, your little truth
Your tiny lies
I know your trembling hand, your guilty prize
Your sleeping limbs, your foreign hymns
Your midnight cries
[Chorus]
So dry your eyes
And turn your head away
Now there's nothing more to say
Now you're gone away
[Verse 2]
I know your trail of tears, your slip of hand
Your monkey claw, your monkey paw
And your monkey hand
I've seen your trick of blood, your trap of fire
Your ancient wound, your scarlet moon
And your jailhouse smile
[Chorus]
So dry your eyes
And turn your head away
Now there's nothing more to say
Now you're gone away
[Verse 3]
I'll miss your urchin smile, your orphan tears
Your shining prize, your tiny cries
Your little fears
I'll miss your fairground hair, your seaside eyes
Your little truth, your vampire tooth
And your tiny lies
[Chorus]
So dry your eyes
And turn your head away
Now there's nothing more to say
Now you're gone away
The Witness Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah, well, well, well, yeah, well, well, well, yeah, well, well, well
I took a walk down to the port
Where strangers meet and do consort
All blinkered with desire
And a winter fog moved thickly on
A winter fog moved thickly on
A winter fog moved thickly on
[Hook]
Now, who will be the witness, who will be the witness, who will be the witness
When the fog's too thick to see
[Verse 2]
And I saw a friend beside a wall
Her hands were raised in supplication
And her face I could not see at all
And I raised my hands in rage
And I brought them down again
And we entered through the eastern door
I entered through the eastern door
She entered through the eastern door
[Hook]
Now, who will be the witness, who will be the witness, who will be the witness
When you're all to blind to see
Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
[Aside]
Yeah, and time gets somewhat muddled here
But no matter, no matter
Here come the events all tumbling down (Who will be the witness?)
Now, beyond the wall was a great garden (Who will be the witness?)
Into which we passed (Who will be the witness?)
Me and my friend (Who will be the witness?)
And the place was all overgrown with weeds (Who will be the witness?)
And behold from its center there rose a great fountain (Who will be the witness?)
A fountain with the healing waters (Who will be the witness?)
Yes the fountain with the healing waters (Who will be the witness?)
And we knelt down by the rim (Who will be the witness?)
And I dipped my hand in (Who will be the witness?)
And she dipped her hand in too (Who will be the witness?)
And I said "Are you healed?" (Who will be the witness?)
And she said "Well, are you healed?" (Who will be the witness?)
And I said "Yes, I'm healed" (Who will be the witness?)
And she said "Well, yes I'm healed then too" (Who will be the witness?)
And I said "Babe, you are a liar" (Who will be the witness?)
Babe, you are a liar, babe, you are a liar, babe, you are a liar, too"
Now, who will be the witness, who will be the witness, who will be the witness
When you're all to healed to see
[Verse 3]
And I kissed her once, I kissed her twice (And I kissed her once, I kissed her twice)
And made my way to leave her (And made my way to leave her)
And she raised her hand up to her face (And she raised her hand up to her face)
And brought it down again (And brought it down again)
I said "That gesture, it will haunt me" ("That gesture, it will haunt me")
"That gesture it will haunt me"
And I left there by the eastern door
She left there by the western door
[Hook]
Now, who will be the witness, who will be the witness there
When you're blind and you can't see
Who will be the witness, yeah baby, who will be the witness there
When you're all so clean and you cannot see
Who will be the witness, yeah, who will be the witness
Who will be the witness, who will be the witness
Who will be the witness, yeah baby, who will be the witness, there
When your friends are everywhere
Who will be the witness, who will be the witness there
And your enemies have ceased to care
Who will be the witness, who will be the witness
Who will be the witness, who will be the witness
Who will be the witness, yeah baby, who will be the witness there
Yeah, who will be the witness, who will be the witness
Who will be the witness, who will be the witness
Who will be the witness, yeah, who will be the witness, yeah
Who will be the witness, who will be the witness
Lucy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Last night I lay trembling
The moon it was low
It was the end of love
Of misery and woe
Then suddenly above me
Her face buried in light
Came a vision of beauty
All covered in white
[Chorus]
Now the bell-tower is ringing
And the night has stole past
O Lucy, can you hear me?
Wherever you rest
[Verse 2]
I'll love her forever
I'll love her for all time
I'll love her till the stars
Fall down from the sky
[Chorus]
Now the bell-tower is ringing
And I shake on the floor
O Lucy, can you hear me?
When I call and call
Now the bell-tower is ringing
And the moon it is high
O Lucy, can you hear me
When I cry and cry and cry
