Close Action Lyrics - The Crossing - Big Country

A score of years this line has run 

Above the crests that drown the sun 

A mile high the turbines turned 

The stokers sweat, the monkeys burned 

I will carry you home with the gods in my eyes 

I will carry you home while the westerlies sigh 

The continents will fly apart 

The oceans scream and never part 

Divided souls can never rest 

Must join the nations, break the test 

For endless hours the sirens wail 

Await the tide that brings the sail 

Cling to the walls and close the shore 

The lovers wait who walk no more
