Fire on The Cross — текст песни (Bruce Hornsby)

B. r. hornsby/john hornsby



Theyre looking for some hired guns on the texas border

To shoot em all down if they try to cross over the water

And theyve got their old white hoods and the same old orders

To keep the dark sons away from their daughters

The nights they came on horses

Are long gone with the wind

Now theyre passing out the torches

And theyre coming back again



Theres a shotgun blast

Theres a secret sign

Its not a candle burning and its not a sunday night

Theres a fire on the cross

Theres a fire on the cross tonight



There wasnt any sound but it felt like sudden thunder

Two boards nailed together and burning bright

He was walking by the window when he saw it

Now he wonders

Just what hes got to do to make him see

He just want to be brothers

The nights they came on horses

Are long gone with the wind

Now theyre passing out the torches

And theyre coming back again



Theres a shotgun blast

Theres a secret sign

Its not a candle burning and its not a sunday night

Theres a fire on the cross

Theres a fire on the cross tonight
