Big Country - Close Action lyrics

A score of years this line has run Above the crests that drown the sun A mile high the turbines turned The stokers sweat the monkeys burned I will carry you home With the gods in my eyes I will carry you home While the westerlies sigh The continents will fly apart The oceans scream and never part Divided souls can never rest Must join the nations break the test I will carry you home With the gods in my eyes I will carry you home While the westerlies sigh I will carry you home With the gods in my eyes I will carry you home While the westerlies sigh For endless hours the sirens wail Await the tide that brings the sail Cling the walls and close the shore The lovers wait who walk no more I will carry you home With the gods in my eyes I will carry you home While the westerlies sigh I will carry you home With the gods in my eyes I will carry you home While the westerlies sigh I will carry you home I will carry you home I will carry you home I will carry you home
