Little Feat Eden's Wall Lyrics

B. Payne, P. Barrere, and S. Murphy
Storm clouds all around me
there's a lightning at my back
but there's an angel on my shoulder
that's keepin' my on track
no matter how bad I stumble
she's there to catch me when I fall
my angel of forgiveness has been
around to see it all
I wandered down from nowhere
it was a long time ago
with my images and dreams
my hopes for the best
giving nothing away
nothing yet lost
but now I'm going
going over eden's wall
won't be back
you can have it all
take my chances make the run --
finish standing tall
cause I'm going, going, going over eden's wall
the heat pu an edge on things that Summer
the clock ticking away
had all the world before me
except for the ungodly war
caught in a river, the current took me away
to a wilderness of reverance
left me hanging by a thread
a splintered prayer an invocation
born out of chance at dusk
the benediction at sunrise it's a resonance ringing
robbed me of my innocence
I'd run out of trust
cause now I'm going
going over eden's wall
won't be back
you can have it all
take my chances make the run --
finish standing tall
cause I'm going, going,
going over eden's wall
I'm held to the faith
feeling wounded
that the future unfolds
I could not cry
like a conversation not always understood
a broken spirit dries the bones
It's architecture and intent revealed a little at a time
I am delivered gone without a trace
I'm running out of time
I've seen beyond the line
the question I weigh
It's not so much the cost
It's what I'm willing to pay
going, going over eden's wall
won't be back, no
you can have it all
take my chances -- make the run --
finish standing tall
cause I'm going, going, going over eden's wall
goin' over goin' under run right through it
look out -- yeah yeah
