Lyric of the week

Oct.. 24, 2012

In the firmament we move and galactic swirl
And we live and we breathe and we have our being
Baby, in the daring light
Darling squeeze me, squeeze me
Oh, don’t ever leave me in the daring night
When all the stars are shining bright
And don’t let go, don’t let go
And don’t let go, don’t let go in the daring night
And we move, and we move, and we move, and we move
Baby, don’t let go in the daring night
Baby, in the daring night

(Van Morrison, “Daring Night”)

Oh, it’s pouring down rain
And there’s thunder up in my head

The masters of war still sleeping
at home in their beds
Oh, when will they wake up
When will they take it back

It’s rollin’ down the track
Rollin’ down
Rollin’

(Pieta Brown, “Rollin’ Down the Track”)

Can’t see nothin’ coming up behind

I make my way through this darkness

I can’t feel nothing but this chain that binds me

Lost track of how far I’ve gone

How far I’ve gone, how high I’ve climbed

On my back’s a sixty pound stone

On my shoulder a half mile of line



Come on up for the rising

Com on up, lay your hands in mine

Come on up for the rising

Come on up for the rising tonight

(Bruce Springsteen, “The Rising”)
