When My Love Crosses Over
Share
John Hiatt
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Made a pact
2
Lying there on our backs
3
Swearing to every star that the sky did hold
4
Promising our love was true
5
Promising to see it through
6
Then we headed due southwest across the Muscle Shoals
7
We slid down a riverbank in the pouring rain
8
Giving thanks for the strength just to carry on through the fog and the cold
9
There at the water's edge
10
She tugged my arm, and I nodded my head
11
Just one more step, and that river took ahold
12
When my love crosses over, I'm coming over, too
13
To cross that mighty river that's before us to the new western world
14
Mountains high and plain unfurled
15
Desert stretching out to touch the Californias
16
We said we'd never look back
17
We never have, and that's a fact
18
That Mississippi washed us clean down to the bone
19
The journey's been long, my friend
20
Hell, you never know what state you're in
21
Yeah, but the unknown is always the unknown
22
I lost track of you awhile
23
But you were waiting for me with a smile
24
Made me feel like a little child with a brand-new view
25
Let's do it all over, babe
26
It'd just be another trip we made
27
When my love crosses over, I'm coming too
