Jesus Was A Cross Maker Lyrics - Warren Zevon

Written by Judee Sill 1972 EMI Blackwood Music BMI 

Sweet silver angels over the sea 

Please come down flying low for me 

One time I trusted a stranger 

'Cause I heard his sweet song 

It was gently enticing me 

But there was something wrong 

And when I turned 

He was gone 

Blinding me 

His song remains reminding me 

He's a bandit and a heartbreaker 

My Jesus was a cross maker 

Sweet silver angels over the sea 

Please come down flying low for me

He wages war with the devil 

With a pistol by His side 

He's always chasing him out of windows 

And He won't give him a place to hide 

But he keeps His door 

Open wide 

Fighting him 

He lights a lamp inviting him 

He's a bandit and a heartbreaker 

My Jesus was a cross maker 

Yeah, Jesus was a cross maker 

(here's a verse Ms. Sill wrote, which Warren leaves out: 

Maybe he thought he had enough thunder on this record, already: 

I heard the thunder come rumblin' 

The light never looked so dim 

I see the junction git nearer 

And danger is in the wind 

And either road's lookin' grim
