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 more, this North Sea wind
And like the river I flow through
I die, die down at water's edge
And love you till I falter

Oh no, oh no, oh no
Let sunshine, sunshine flow
Wind guide you, wind guide you
Come home, home, home, come home


You row out to meet me, I was chained
The current 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 Egon on 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 paralyzed
Inside I dream of loves incomplete
Men hound you, they just do
Men hound you, they just do

A proud 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 falter

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, no, no, no, I float into view
My heart seems paralyzed
Inside I dream of loves incomplete
Men hound you, they just do
Men hound you, they just do
