Praying Arm Lane Lyrics - 16 Horsepower

Well hey, I been down that a-way 

With a dream on my arm 

Yet me an' my love we could not stay 

We heard voices of children 

An' by little hands were led astray 

All the boughs bend for us 

All the earth awaits thee 

All the stones they will cry out 

An' ev'ry tongue confess thee 

Oh my dream come an' take me quickly 

'Fore the struggle take me 

Yeah lay me down any way you choose 

An' let the voices of our children wake me 

The boughs they all will bend for us 

An' all the earth awaits thee 

All the stones they will cry out 

Yes an' ev'ry tongue confess thee 

An' though the word yes 

It falls on deaf ears 

It is spoken jus' the same 

The word is stands 

Look straight at ev'ry man 

From kings down to the lay 

Well, I told it fast an' glad 

The color of a sloe drink or so they say 

So they say by the light of day 

Hidden 'neath their wings 

Of black, brown an' gray 

The boughs they all will bend for us 

An' all the earth awaits thee 

All the stones they will cry out 

An' ev'ry tongue confess thee 

An' though the word yes 

It falls on deaf ears 

It is spoken jus' the same 

The word is stands 

Look straight at ev'ry man 

From kings down to the lay
