Everlasting Arm Lyrics - Mercury Rev

And so with the explorers on my heels 

I started to wheel 

Stepped aside stone walls, I was sick of it all 

And so I set my sail on your coattails and your warm shawl 

Up where there's an everlasting arm 

Sends us out alone 

Moves us out of harm 

Ever-reaching always sweeping 

And though I struggled to take my place 

There stood my mistake 

Standing there like some great big theater curtain 

Who knew for certain, I'd come down on you softly 

Up where there's an everlasting arm 

Sends us out alone 

Moves us out of harm 

Ever-reaching always sweeping 

Up where 

Up where 

By and by the gates swung wide 

Loved ones came in sight 

Stormin' down the street like 

Puerto-Rican kids in a summer rain 

Breaking open the hydrants and going insane 

And going insane 

Up where there's an everlasting arm 

Sends us out alone 

Moves us out of harm 

Ever-reaching always sweeping 

Up where there's an everlasting arm 

Sends us out alone 

Moves us out of harm 

Ever-reaching always sweeping 

Up where 

Up where 

Up where 

Up where
