Lyrics
The Cross
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Standing by the blinds
Above the city lights
A junkie for your touch
Dressing up for the night
The winter sky is clear
Passing faceless silhouettes
Counting wasted years
Like burnt out cigarettes
Where are you now?
I have to carry the cross
Where are you now?
You're the greatest loss
Falling like a flake
In a snowstorm ball
Where every little shake
Makes a blizzard of it all
Where are you now?
I have to carry the cross
Where are you now?
You're the greatest loss
Where are you now?
I have to carry the cross
Where are you now?
You're the greatest loss
Where are you now?
You're the greatest loss
Where are you now?
I have to carry the cross
Where are you now?
You're the greatest loss
Where are you now?
I have to carry the cross
Where are you now?
You're the greatest loss
