In A Big Country Lyrics

In A Big Country lyrics

I've never seen you 
look like this without a reason 
Another promise
fallen through, 
another season passes by you

I never took the smile

away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way 
to look for
someone who is still a child

*In a big country 
dreams stay with
you
Like a lover's voice 
far as the mountainside
Stay alive

I
thought that pain and truth 
were things that really mattered
But you
can't stay here 
with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not
expecting 
to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe

and see the sun in wintertime

*Chorus x 2

So take that look
out of here, 
it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened 
doesn't mean
you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, 
come up
screaming
Cry out for everything
you ever might have wanted
I thought
that pain and truth 
were things that really mattered
But you can't stay
here 
with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting

to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe 
and see the
sun in wintertime

*Chorus x 3
