Big Black Heaven Lyrics

Big Black Heaven lyrics

Written by: Patti Scialfa



You promised me there'd be no denials

When I was weak under your spell

When I feel thirsty you would not let me

Take water from your well

Well big black road

Big black river

Big black heaven in the sky above

I need someone I can talk to

I need someone I can love



So I went down to that valley

To a boy that I once knew

And he looked at me so tender

Oh baby like you used to do

Well big black road

Big black river

Big black heaven in the sky above

I need someone I can talk to

I need someone I can love



So I crossed that river of temptation

And I lay down in that young boys arms

And there I claimed my destination

Through this one last unforgiving harm

Well big black road

Big black river

Big black heaven in the sky above

I need someone I can talk to

I need someone I can love
