[ti:loom of the land] |

[ar:Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds] |
|
[al:Henry's Dream] |
| [00:01.21] |
It was the dirty end of winter |
| [00:05.59] |
Along the loom of the land |
| [00:09.84] |
When I walked with sweet Sally |
| [00:14.29] |
Hand upon hand |
| [00:17.19] |
|
| [00:17.88] |
|
| [00:18.78] |
And the wind it bit bitter |
| [00:22.32] |
For a boy of no means |
| [00:26.26] |
With no shoes on his feet |
| [00:30.50] |
And a knife in his jeans |
| [00:33.21] |
|
| [00:34.29] |
|
| [00:34.94] |
Along the loom of the land |
| [00:39.14] |
The mission bells peeled |
| [00:43.12] |
From the tower at Saint Mary's |
| [00:47.07] |
Down to Reprobate Fields |
| [00:49.92] |
|
| [00:50.47] |
|
| [00:51.36] |
And I saw that the world |
| [00:55.60] |
Was all blessed and bright |
| [00:59.39] |
And Sally breathed softly |
| [01:04.03] |
In the majestic night |
| [01:07.68] |
|
| [01:08.23] |
|
| [01:08.67] |
O baby please don't cry |
| [01:12.18] |
And try to keep |
| [01:16.38] |
Your little hand upon my shoulder |
| [01:22.51] |
Now go to sleep |
| [01:26.61] |
|
| [01:27.10] |
|
| [01:27.59] |
The elms and the poplars |
| [01:31.25] |
Were turning their backs |
| [01:35.47] |
Past the rumbling station |
| [01:39.58] |
We followed the tracks |
| [01:42.74] |
|
| [01:43.03] |
|
| [01:43.62] |
We found an untrodden path |
| [01:47.92] |
And followed it down |
| [01:52.50] |
The moon in the sky |
| [01:56.60] |
Like a dislodged crown |
| [01:59.74] |
|
| [02:00.04] |
|
| [02:01.24] |
My hands they burned |
| [02:05.13] |
In the folds of her coat |
| [02:08.77] |
Breathing milky white air |
| [02:13.22] |
From deep in her throat |
| [02:16.92] |
|
| [02:17.26] |
|
| [02:17.61] |
O baby please don't cry |
| [02:21.35] |
And try to keep |
| [02:25.54] |
Your little head upon my shoulder |
| [02:31.98] |
Now go to sleep |
| [02:35.02] |
|
| [02:35.57] |
|
| [02:54.83] |
I told Sally in whispers |
| [02:58.82] |
I'll never bring you harm |
| [03:02.97] |
Her breast it was small |
| [03:06.92] |
And warm in my palm |
| [03:09.17] |
|
| [03:09.51] |
|
| [03:09.91] |
I told her the moon |
| [03:13.90] |
Was a magical thing |
| [03:17.84] |
That it shone gold in winter |
| [03:22.13] |
And silver in spring |
| [03:25.33] |
|
| [03:25.48] |
|
| [03:25.89] |
And we walked and walked |
| [03:30.27] |
Across the endless sands |
| [03:34.51] |
Just me and my Sally |
| [03:38.52] |
Along the loom of the land |
| [03:42.10] |
|
| [03:42.36] |
|
| [03:42.65] |
O baby please don't cry |
| [03:46.75] |
And try to keep |
| [03:50.74] |
Your little head upon my shoulder |
| [03:57.24] |
Now go to sleep |
| [04:07.62][04:06.54][04:05.23][04:04.47][04:03.53][04:01.12][04:00.98][04:00.78] |
