You promised me there'd be no denials
|
When I was weak under your spell
|
When I feel thirsty you would not let me
|
Take water from your well
|
Well big black road
|
Big black river
|
Big black heaven in the sky above
|
I need someone I can talk to
|
I need someone I can love
|
|
So I went down to that valley
|
To a boy that I once knew
|
And he looked at me so tender
|
Oh baby like you used to do
|
Well big black road
|
Big black river
|
Big black heaven in the sky above
|
I need someone I can talk to
|
I need someone I can love
|
|
So I crossed that river of temptation
|
And I lay down in that young boys arms
|
And there I claimed my destination
|
Through this one last unforgiving harm
|
Well big black road
|
Big black river
|
Big black heaven in the sky above
|
I need someone I can talk to
|
I need someone I can love
|
