Sisters of Mercy - Driven like the snow

1 comment:

  1. Still night, nothing for miles,
    White curtain come down,
    Kill the lights in the middle of the road
    And take, take a look around.....
    It don't help to be one of the chosen
    One of the few, to be sure
    When the wheels are spinning around
    And the ground is frozen through, and you're
    Driven, like the snow
    Pure in heart
    Driven together
    And given
    Away to the west
    A white dress
    'til the river don't run
    A black dress
    Looking like mine
    'til the sun don't shine no more
    Where the sky meet the ground
    Where the street fold round
    Where the voice you hold don't
    make no sound, look
    Snow on the river and two by two
    Took a lot to live a lot like you, I don't
    Go there now, but I hear they sung
    Their Fuck Me And Marry Me Young?
    Some wild idea and a big white bed, now
    You know better than that, I said,
    Like a voice in the wind blow little crystals down
    Like brittle things will break before they turn
    Like lipstick on my cigarette
    And the ice get harder overhead
    Like think it twice but never never learn...

    And the mist will wrap around us
    And the crystal, if you touch it...

    And the cars
    Lost in the drift
    Are there
    And the people that drive
    Lost in the drift
    Are there
    And the cares I've
    Lost in the drift
    Are there
    Theirs, ours,
    Lost in the drift
    Are..
    Driven
    Driven together
    And driven
    Apart
