Tilted Cross lyrics

Artist  : Fish 
Song : Tilted Cross



 Send "Tilted Cross" Ringtone to your Cell 

 There's a message that's been left in the long
grass by a stranger who's passed this way
before,

Planted seed from which we reap a
bitter harvest from his long forgotten war,



I left my love in a grave and I marked
it with a cross that will stand so straight and
true,

It's not alone in the shade of the
valley, they're what remains of the ones we once
knew,



Walk with me my child but
tread softly on this earth,

Keep a close
eye where your feet they touch the ground,

Watch out for the signs and heed what they
say,

One false step and all is lost,

In the land of the tilted cross.



They lie beneath the needles of the forest, in
the fields where only shadows dare to play,

Washed down from the slopes of the mountains
in the spring when the snow melts away,



So be sure when you go on your journey, carry
sticks, mark the place where they are found,

Make a cross and be sure that it's tilted so
that others don't step on this ground.



Walk with me my child but tread softly on this
earth,

Keep a close eye where your feet they
touch the ground,

Watch out for the signs
and heed what they say,

One false step and
all is lost,

In the land of the tilted
cross.



I left my love in a grave and
I marked it with a cross that stands so straight
and true.
