(Downes/Payne)
|
Don't hang that sign on me
|
You're the stranger
|
Don't try to talk to me
|
You're the stranger
|
|
On the seas
|
They came from far away
|
From the skies
|
Their silver birds of prey
|
|
In one day
|
Ten thousand years could change
|
We are fools
|
To live your pilgrim ways
|
|
Don't hang that sign on me
|
You're the stranger
|
Don't try to talk to me
|
You're the stranger
|
|
And we drive
|
Five hundred miles this time
|
To the edge
|
Of crystal-cut blue sky
|
|
Silence breathes
|
South of the border line
|
Silent trees
|
Look back and wonder why
|
|
Did Father and his Holy Son
|
Spread the word and point the gun?
|
And where the eagle used to fly
|
They carve their concrete in the sky
|
Tearing at our Mother's skin
|
Taking all her blood within
|
Remember how it used to be?
|
|
Did Father and his Holy Son
|
Spread the word and point the gun
|
And where the eagle used to fly
|
They carve their concrete in the sky
|
Tearing at our Mother's skin
|
Taking all her blood within
|
Remember how it used to be?
|
Stand up again and say:
|
|
Don't hang that sign on me
|
You're the stranger
|
Don't try to talk to me
|
You're the stranger
|
Don't hang that sign on me
|
You're the stranger
|
Don't try to talk to me
|
You're the stranger
|
