Mercury Rev Everlasting Arm Lyrics

And so with the explorers on my heels I started t'wheel
Stepped aside stone walls, i was sick of it all
And so I set my sail on yr coattails and yr 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 t'take my place
there stood my mistake
Standing there like some great big theatre curtain he knew for certain I'd come down on you softly
Up where...
By and by the gates swung wide
Loved ones came in sight
Storming down the street like Puerto-Rican kids in a summer rain
Breaking open the hydrants and going insane
Up where...
