A Crack in the Clouds Songtext

von Julian Cope

A cold breeze climbs up the edge of a cloud
And follows me to the river.
I stand and sigh, weighed down with chains,
They follow me in columns.
They'll not see port, this north sea wind,
And like the river I flow through.
I die, die down at water's edge,
And love you till I fall down.
Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
Let sunshine, sunshine flow.
Winds guide you, winds guide you,
Come home, home, home, come home.

You row out to meet me, I was chained,
That current's strong I guess.
And Christian spy plane overhead,
But I would not confess.
I arrive in the next world, with hate in my heart,
And eager for my crown.
And hold you up for all to see,
For I can't put you down.
Oh no! No! No! I float into view,
My heart seems paralysed.
Inside I dream of loves incomplete,
Men hound you they just do,
Men hound you they just do.

A quiet village boy takes leave of his life,
And walks off into the mountains.
Come back to me, come close and let me,
Love you till I fall down.
Oh no, no no I won't let you down,
Don't understand my heart.
Inside I dream I've torn you away,
Don't fall, don't die, don't end.
Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
I float into view, my heart seems paralysed.
Inside I dream of loves incomplete,
Men hound you they just do,
Men hound you they just do.
