On the Saltire Cross
On the Saltire cross
Aye a fisherman, You called me first
To a love forever unrequited.
Not a drop to drink or slake this terrible thirst
And casual strangers are not invited
To this place where agonies are sewed
Into the buds of wings upon your back
And a merciless adversary wields a goad
Sprinkling salt ire into every open crack.
I will be with you.
I will be with you, star-crossed destiny.
Twelve men, called to do or die
Plus You, we made a baker's dozen
(I always tended to over-simplify
Especially when talking to my cousin.)
I could see that You wanted to be all things to all men.
But frankly some of it just went over my head
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
My way was more whatever it took to
Give to us this day our daily bread.
If I'm to be with you.
If I'm to be with you, star-crossed destiny.
All causes of unnatural disasters
Are to be found within ourselves:
Sometimes we look so longingly at the backs of departing masters
We forget to dust our own dirty, little shelves.
But once whoever is without blemish has thrown
With such a heavy, heavy heart
His heavy, heavy stone
On the Saltire cross, there he'll remain – forever set apart.
I am always with you
I am always with you, star-crossed destiny.
