As Tears Roll By – Daniel Lanois – letras

I’ve been working downtown inside my troublesI’ve been working downtown inside my troublesI’ve been sleeping under the bridge of highway 1And I don’t know who my savior isAs tears roll byOh dear heart I know it’s been a long timeAnd the pendulum swings so wideI’ve been wrestling with the burning spearWith the burning spearDon’t want to be like this another yearAs tears roll byI could never see your perfect rainbowAvalanche buried me deep in the snowMurky smoke stack made me fallCold ambition written on my wallI got mixed up and fell downI got mixed upAs years roll byI could be a patriot if I could seeBut the T.V. talkin’ man make no sense to meAnd I don’t know where our savior livesAnd I don’t know where my savior isBuilding up, building downAs tears roll byGotta keep my spirit out of troubleKeep myself out of troubleBut the hands of need are calling meI feel mortalityTumble down, tumble downAs years roll byThey were building a building like foreverHeads buried deep inside a feverThe spirit cried out from the groundSweet, sweet maternal soundsTumble, tumble, tumble down tumble to the groundAs fears roll byAs tears roll by, as tears roll by, as tears roll by,as tears roll by
