Loom Of The Land
It was the dirty end of winter It was the dirty end of winter Along the loom of the land Along the loom of the land When I walked with sweet Henry When i walked with sweet henry Hand upon hand Hand upon hand
And the wind it bit bitter And the wind it bit bitter For a girl of no means For a girl of no means With no shoes on her feet With no shoes on her feet And a knife in her jeans And a knife in her jeans
Along the loom of the land Along the loom of the land The mission bells peeled The mission bells peeled From the tower at Saint Mary's From the tower at saint mary's Down to Reprobate Fields Down to reprobate fields
And I saw (that) the world And i saw (that) the world (Was) all blessed and bright (was) all blessed and bright And Henry breathed softly And henry breathed softly In the majestic night In the majestic night
O baby please don't cry O baby please don't cry And try to keep And try to keep Your little head upon my shoulder Your little head upon my shoulder Now we'll go to sleep Now we'll go to sleep
The elms and the poplars The elms and the poplars Were turning their backs Were turning their backs Past the rumbling station Past the rumbling station We followed their tracks Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com We followed their tracks
My hands they burned My hands they burned In the folds of his coat In the folds of his coat Breathing milky white air Breathing milky white air From deep in his throat From deep in his throat
O baby please don't cry O baby please don't cry And try to keep And try to keep Your little head upon my shoulder Your little head upon my shoulder Now we'll go to sleep Now we'll go to sleep
I told him the moon I told him the moon Was a magical thing Was a magical thing That it shone gold in winter That it shone gold in winter And silver in spring And silver in spring
And we walked and we walked And we walked and we walked Across the endless sands Across the endless sands Just me and my Henry Just me and my henry Along the loom of the land Along the loom of the land
O baby please don't cry O baby please don't cry And try to keep And try to keep O baby please don't cry O baby please don't cry And try to keep And try to keep Your little head upon my shoulder Your little head upon my shoulder Now we'll go to sleep Now we'll go to sleep
