Sandra Mccracken Gypsy Flat Road
Across the gypsy flat road
Where everything closes down tonight
Across the gypsy flat road
Where the steps and the stars are light
And it rained all day
And it rained all day
And it rained all day
With the bounty of new wine
The sky settles in low
On the rooftops of this trainboard town
We are upstairs alone
And we speak only with the whisper sounds
(repeat chorus)
Will there come a day
When our faces will not lift out of the dust
Can we then still say,
That this mercy is our only trust
(repeat chorus)
...what was incurable, desperate blindness
has been bound up from all sides with loving kindness
comfort for sorrow,
rivers for dryness
come and drink you who have no money
