When My Love Crosses Over
Lyricist:John Hiatt
We made a pact Lying there on our backs Swearing to every star That the sky did hold
Promising our love was true And promising to see it through Then we headed due Southwest Across the Muscle Shoals
We slid down a riverbank In the pouring rain, giving thanks For the strength just to carry on Through the fog and the cold
There at the water's edge She tugged my arm and I nodded my head Just one more step And that river took a hold
When my love crosses over, I'm coming over too To cross that mighty river that's before us To the new western world Mountains high and plain unfurled Desert stretching out to touch the Californias
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com We said we'd never look back We never have and that's a fact That Mississippi washed us clean Down to the bone
The journey's been long, my friend Hell, you never know what state you're in Yeah, but the unknown It's always the unknown
And when my love crosses over, I'm coming over too To cross that mighty river that's before us To the new western world Mountains high and plain unfurled And desert stretching out to touch the Californias
I lost track of you a while But you were waiting for me with a smile Made me feel like a little child With a brand new view
Let's do it all over, babe It'd just be another trip we made When my love crosses over I'm coming too
