Mercury Rev - Everlasting Arm Lyrics

And so with the explorers on my heels
I started to wheel
Stepped aside stone walls, I was sick of it all
And so I set my sail on your coattails and your warm shawl

Up where there's an everlasting arm
Sends us out alone
Moves us out of harm
Ever-reaching always sweeping

And though I struggled to take my place
There stood my mistake
Standing there like some great big theater curtain
Who knew for certain, I'd come down on you softly

Up where there's an everlasting arm
Sends us out alone
Moves us out of harm
Ever-reaching always sweeping

Up where
Up where

By and by the gates swung wide
Loved ones came in sight
Stormin' down the street like
Puerto-Rican kids in a summer rain

Breaking open the hydrants and going insane
And going insane

Up where there's an everlasting arm
Sends us out alone
Moves us out of harm
Ever-reaching always sweeping

Up where there's an everlasting arm
Sends us out alone
Moves us out of harm
Ever-reaching always sweeping

Up where
Up where
Up where
Up where
