Heavy Hands

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.

If I turn my eyes

From these cold blue skies

Won’t stay my worry

Won’t calm or quell

I can say my piece

I can barter my tale

Won’t ease my burden

But I might as well

There’s a heavy hand

Laid across this land

And it steers my journey

And it guides my pen

Press on, head high

‘Till the ink has run dry

‘Cause my story ain’t like

To wind home again

Well, I’ll beat my drum

‘Till my last day come

Or the mountain meets the sea

Yeah, the earth will shake

But the boughs she break

Won’t put no fear in me

‘Cause I see a land on high

So I pen my final line

Sky will shimmer and Sun will shine

Where the water tastes like wine

Well, I’ve wandered ‘round

And there’s a code I found

Says a gentle manner

And a righteous way

This pair you’ll need

If you follow this creed

She’ll see you through

Until the judgement day

But there ain’t no law

Under tooth and claw

In the nest of vipers

Or the lion’s den

You can holler and wail

‘Till the echo goes stale

Ain’t way nor manner

Gonna save you then

But I’ll beat my drum

‘Till my last day come

Or the mountain meets the sea

Yeah, the earth will shake

But the boughs she break

Won’t put no fear in me

‘Cause I see a land on high

So I pen my final line

Well, stories end and I'm closin’ mine

Where the water tastes like wine

So when the waters still

And you feel that thrill

For the open trail

Has slipped away

When the words won’t flow

When your fingers run slow

And the song you carry

Goes dull and gray

Well, there’s a place I seen

Where the soul burns clean

And the verse it’s singin’

Rings pure and true

So cry no more

You just open that door

These shores of plenty

Gonna welcome you

And I beat my drum

‘Till my last day come

Or the mountain meets the sea

Yeah, the earth will shake

But the boughs she break

Won’t put no fear in me

‘Cause I see a land on high

So I pen my final line

I’ve said my fill and I'm feelin’ fine

Where the water tastes like wine
