Terence Trent D'arby Seven More Days
Teardrops rusting on a steel bar Harmonica blues Heartblood thick enough for pine tar I've got a hole in my delta shoes Grown men wither and they dry away Their lives compromised I've gotta hold on Struggle through another day To see the fire in my baby's eyes Society's debts have been more than paid. In seven more days I'll be home to you And the walls will tumble down That's separating us two The Jericho mile and a river so wide In seven more days There will be no more divide. Bad dreams, cornerstone realities Bears witness to shame Hell's gate - a landscaped brutality All for material gain But she's home praying on her hands & knees That safe shall I part. But I am guilty of her memory But there's no crime in my heart Society's debts have been more than paid. In seven more days I'll be home to you And the walls will tumble down That's separating us two The Jericho mile and a river so wide In seven more days There will be no more divide. Lawful society Says this is what you get Tearful sobriety of Matters that you soon regret It all adds up to time Debts have been more than paid. In seven more days I'll be home to you And the walls will tumble down That's separating us two The Jericho mile and a river so wide In seven more days There will be no more divide.
