Loom of the Land
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
And the wind it bit bitter For a boy of no means With no shoes on his feet And a knife in his jeans
Along the loom of the land The mission bells peeled From the tower at Saint Mary's Down to Reprobate Fields
And I saw that the world Was all blessed and bright And Sally breathed softly In the majestic night
O' baby please don't cry And try to keep Your little head upon my shoulder Now go to sleep
The elms and the popiars Were turning their backs Past the rumbling station We followed the tracks
We found an untrodden path And followed it down The moon in the sky Like a dislodged crown
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com My hands they burned In the folds of her coat Breathing milky white air From deep in her throat
O' baby please don't cry And try to keep Your little head upon my shoulder Now go to sleep
I told Sally in whispers I'll never bring you harm Her breast it was small And warm in my palm
I told her the moon Was a magical thing That it shone gold in the winter And silver in the spring
And we walked and walked Across the endless sands Just me and my Sally Along the loom of the land
O' baby please don't cry And try to keep Your little head upon my shoulder Now go to sleep
