Big Country - East Of Eden

I feel the way the wind blows


It tells me where you've been through

I watch the way the sun sets


Until the night's inside you

Some days I just don't worry


I let it pour through me

Some days I need to bury


The very depths of me

So I wait out here to the east of Eden


I let salvation be


I was waiting, I was watching


Would it ever be there for me ?

When I felt that hope and a lucky card


Were all I had to walk with me..... had to walk with me

I watch the way the crow flies


And though it seems so easy

But if I see it in a grey sky


Can I be sure about the way it leaves me

Some days I just don't worry


I let it pour through me

Some days I call upon


The very depths of me


So I wait out here to the east of Eden


I watch your soul run free

I was waiting, I was watching


Would it ever be there for me ?

When I felt that hope and a lucky card


Were all I had to walk with me

I was waiting, I was watching


Would it ever be there for me ?

When I felt that hope and a lucky card


Were all I had to walk with me


Some days will stay a thousand years


Some pass like the flash of spark

Who knows where all our days go ?


Out here we lie together

Outside the thunder gathers


Why care about the weather

It always ends in dark




I looked west in search of freedom

And I saw slavery


I looked east in search of answers

And I saw misery


Some days I just don't worry

I let it pour through me


Some days I walk into

The very depths of me


So I wait out here to the east of Eden

I let my conscience be




I was waiting, I was watching

Would it ever be there for me ?


When I felt that hope and a lucky card

Were all I had to walk with me
