Job’s Tears versuri

Versuri The Incredible String Band – Job's Tears lyrics

We’re all still here
No one has gone away
Waiting, acting much too
Well and procrastinating

The cross of the Earth / Let me go through
The four winds point them / Let me go through
Body to body / Let me go through
Seas to anoint them / Let me go through
The reed they brought him / Let me go through
Sponge and vinegar / Let me go through
The fiery serpents / Let me go through
Spitting gold and cinnamon / Let me go through
The Moon was bleeding
The stars were shallow / Let me go through
And the sword that killed him / Let me go through
Was a sword of willow

Hello, I must be going, well, I only came to say
I hear my mother calling and I must be on my way

Oh, I remember it all from before

The winter and the midnight / Let me go through
Could not hold him / Let me go through
The fire could not burn him / Let me go through
Nor earth enfold him / Let me go through
Rise up, Lazarus / Let me go through
Sweet and salty
Brother soldiers / Let me go through
Stop your gambling and talk to me / Let me go through
The thieves were stealers / Let me go through
But reason condemned him / Let me go through
And the grave was empty
But they had laid him

Hello, I must be going, well, I only came to say
I hear my mother calling and I must be on my way

Oh, remember it all from before

Why heroes die at sunrise
Why the birds are arrows of the wise
Why each perfumed flower
Why each moment has its hour

It’s you
It’s all true

Stranger than that we’re alive / Oh, happy man
Stranger than that, stranger than that / Oh, happy man
Stranger than that we’re alive / Oh, happy man
Whatever you think, it’s more than that, more than that / Oh, happy man
– / Oh, happy man
Happy man, the happy man / Oh, happy man
Doing the best he can, doing the best he can / Oh, happy man
Oh, happy man, the happy man / Oh, happy man
Doing the best he can, doing the best he can / Oh, happy man

Keep on walking where the angels showed
All will be one, all will be one
Travelling where the saints have trod
Over to the old golden land
In the golden book of the golden game
The golden angel wrote my name
When the deal goes down I’ll put on my crown
Over in the old golden land

I won’t need to kiss you when we’re there
All will be one, all will be one
I won’t need to miss you when we’re there
Over in the old golden land
In the golden book of the golden game
The golden angel wrote my name
When the deal goes down I’ll put on my crown
Over in the old golden land

We’ll understand it better in the sweet bye and bye
All will be one, all will be one
You won’t need to worry and you won’t have to cry
Over in the old golden land
In the golden book of the golden game
The golden angel wrote my name
When the deal goes down I’ll put on my crown
Over in the old golden land
