lyrics

FAR ACROSS THE LAND.

Music and Lyrics by Thomas Carter. Copyright Verlaine Records 2008.


There’s a saying said my lover,
That if there’s smoke there’s fire,
And if the weather’s clear then it will carry,
Like kisses to your eyes,
Far across the land.


Move your body to me,
Just who’s burning and for who?
Don’t close those roads to me,
And let me give myself to you,
Far across the land.

Oh, that you were nearer,
To keep my hand from cold,
Temptation is the devils lie,
Your heart will keep me strong.

The echo of her beauty,
Still ringing like a coin,
Falling on a station platform,
Somewhere where I have been before,
Far across the land.


Everything.


All is gone my lover,
And everything is calm,
A couple just like us two,
Are sleeping in the dark,
Far across the land.


Everything.

This time, I feel there’s nowhere to go.
This time, I’ll turn into the light.

There are no rules I can give you,
No borders now that stand,
Believe me I’m not leaving,
But it’s your choice in the end,
This time, I feel there’s nowhere to go.

Is that a poem in your hand, girl?
Or a letter if you write?
Do you read the ones you send?
Or do you shut your eyes?

All those leaves are free now,
Time has let them go,
Falling from the tree-tops,
Down to the land below,
Far across the land.
