i had a talk with my woman

i had a talk with my woman late last night

and she reassured me everything was alright

and time hung still like a falling rain

now i know at last that my love is safe

ah but when i go away my love i leave

lord i'm but half a man without her by my side

she's this memory that i hold all around

she's this dream that i always hold to believe

i wanna go upon a mountain

and sing my love and sing my love

i wanna sing it high

sing it down low

then i'm gonna know how long it's gonna last

then i'm gonna know how long it's gonna last

well you know your moses

oh lord he lost his way

ah

and your jesus don't remember the words

well then i guess it's just you and me brother

all alone in this cold world

all alone in this cold world

ah

you gotta go upon a mountain

and learn to sing your love

learn to sing your love

you know i can sing it high

sing it down low

then we gonna know how long it's gonna last

then we gonna know how long it's gonna last

hard rain

sweet rain

fall a little while longer

wash down the city skies

lord bring the streets alive

make it like it was

long before i was born
