a battered street a tattered coast
a wind it gathered like a ghost
and heavy blows came beating down on me
a cloud came swirling round the hills
from high above the valley spills
and spots of blood came beating down on me
love is all the world will fall
but this is all we came here for
i hear the ever distant callin' all
if i am love's a**istant then i'll fall
if all the world should fall then let it fall
with heavy gut i've worked the land
for weathered heart and withered hand
yet still the cane comes beating down on me
i've wandered along the beaten path
i've heard the song i've heard the laugh
yet rainy eyes came pouring down on me
a wind it gathered like a ghost
and heavy blows came beating down on me
a cloud came swirling round the hills
from high above the valley spills
and spots of blood came beating down on me
love is all the world will fall
but this is all we came here for
i hear the ever distant callin' all
if i am love's a**istant then i'll fall
if all the world should fall then let it fall
with heavy gut i've worked the land
for weathered heart and withered hand
yet still the cane comes beating down on me
i've wandered along the beaten path
i've heard the song i've heard the laugh
yet rainy eyes came pouring down on me
