Calvary Cross

Richard Thompson

I was under the Calvary Cross

The pale-faced lady she said to me

I've watched you with my one green eye

And I'll hurt you 'till you need me

You scuff your heels and you spit on your shoes

You do nothing with reason

One day you catch a train

Never leaves the station



Everything you do

Everything you do

You do for me



Now you can make believe on your tin whistle

And you can be my broom-boy

Scrub me 'till I shine in the dark

I'll be your light 'till doomsday

Oh it's a black cat cross your path

And why don't you follow

My claw's in you and my lights in you

This is your first day of sorrow



Everything you do

Everything you do

You do for me
