I had a talk with my woman late last night And she rea**ured me everything was alright And time hung still like a falling rain Now I know at last that my love is safe Ah but when I go away my love I leave Lord I'm but half a man without her by my side She's this memory that I hold all around She's this dream that I always hold to believe I wanna go upon a mountain And sing my love and sing my love I wanna sing it high, sing it down low Then I'm gonna know how long it's gonna last Then I'm gonna know how long it's gonna last Well you know your Moses, oh lord he lost his way
Ah, and your Jesus don't remember the words Well then I guess it's just you and me brother All alone in this cold world All alone in this cold world Ah, you gotta go upon a mountain And learn to sing your love, learn to sing your love You know I can sing it high, sing it down low Then we gonna know how long it's gonna last Then we gonna know how long it's gonna last Hard rain, sweet rain, fall a little while longer Wash down the city skies Lord bring the streets alive Make it like it was, long before I was born.
