In A Big Country & Auld Lang Syne

by Colin meloy

SHOCK !
Come up screaming. Come up screaming.
HA !
I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through another season passes by you.
SHOCK !
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child.
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside
Stay alive.
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here when every single hope you had shattered.
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside
Stay alive.
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside
Stay alive.
So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted.
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here when every single hope you had shattered.
SHOCK !
HA JUMP !
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime.
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside
Stay alive.
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside
Stay alive.
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside
Stay alive.
HA !
SHOCK !!
