Praying Arm Lane

Well hey i been down that a way

With a dream on my arm

Yet me an' my love we could not stay

We heard voices of children

An' by little hands were led astray



All the boughs bend for us

All the earth awaits thee

All the stones they will cry out

An' ev'ry tongue confess thee



Oh my dream come an' take me quickly

'fore the struggle take me

Yeah lay me down any way you choose

An' let the voices of our children wake me



The boughs they all will bend for us

An' all the earth awaits thee

All the stones they will cry out

Yes an' ev'ry tongue confess thee



An' though the word yes

It falls on deaf ears

It is spoken jus' the same

The word is stands

Look straight at ev'ry man

From kings down to the lay



Well i told it fast an' glad

The color of a sloe drink

Or so they say

So they say by the light of day

Hidden 'neath their wings

Of black, brown an' grey





The boughs they all will bend for us

An' all the earth awaits thee

All the stones they will cry out

An' ev'ry tongue confess thee



An' though the word yes

It falls on deaf ears

It is spoken jus' the same

The word is stands

Look straight at ev'ry man

From kings down to the lay
