The Calvary Cross Lyrics - Richard & Linda Thompson

I was under the Calvary Cross 

The pale-faced lady, she said to me 

"I've watched you with my one green eye 

And I'll hurt you til you need me" 

You scuff your heels and you spit on your shoes 

Oh, you do nothing with reason 

One day you catch a train 

Oh, you never leave the station 

Everything you do 

Oh, everything you do 

You do for me 

Now you can make believe on your tin whistle 

And you can be my broom-boy 

Ahh, scrub me til I shine in the dark 

And I'll be your light til doomsday 

If a black cat crossed your path 

Oh, why don't you follow? 

My claw's in you and my lights in you 

Ahh, this is your first day of sorrow 

Everything you do 

Oh, everything you do 

You do for me
