Big Country Driving To Damascus Lyrics

Driving To Damascus Lyrics

I was driving to Damascus when a sandstorm rose

The road disappeared and
the axle froze

I was low on gas and lower on hope

I covered my eyes
and I felt for the rope



The wind was howling and the air it
stung

I breathed in dust and it burned my lungs

And through the
dust a driver came

Small and twisted and his face was plain



He said love them all

All that you need when your heart is small

Love them all

You're gonna find them when they fall



It was
not hard to make him out

He simply spoke while I had to shout

He
asked me where you driving child?

His voice was clear but his eyes were
wild



I said I'm going to the city

To meet the high and
proud

And let them know that anger

Is the nature of the crowd



He said love them all

All that you need when your heart is
small

Love them all

You're gonna find them when they fall



Love them all

All that you need when your heart is small

Love them all

You're gonna find them when they fall



He
said your words are lost on the dead

When you belong to them

Once I
was dead and I knew the words

Of those dry and hollow men



And
he took the rope and he hitched me up

Freed me from the dust

And he
helped me round the pilgrims up

And lead them to the bus



He
said love them all

All that you need when your heart is small

Love
them all

You're gonna find them when they fall



Love them
all

All that you need when your heart is small

Love them all

You're gonna find them when they fall



Love them all

All
that you need when your heart is small

Love them all

You're gonna
find them when they fall
