Big Black Heaven Lyrics - Rumble Doll - Patti Scialfa

You promised me 

There'd be no denials 

When I was weak 

Under your spell 

When I feel thirsty 

You would not let me 

Take water from your well 

Well big black road 

Big black river 

Big black heaven 

In the sky above 

I need someone I can talk to 

I need someone I can love 

So I went down to that valley 

To a boy that I once knew 

And he looked at me so tender 

Oh baby like you used to do 

Well big black road 

Big black river 

Big black heaven 

In the sky above 

I need someone I can talk to 

I need someone I can love 

So I crossed 

That river of temptation 

And I lay down 

In that young boys arms 

And there 

I claimed my destination 

Through this 

One last unforgiving harm 

Well big black road 

Big black river 

Big black heaven 

In the sky above 

I need someone I can talk to 

I need someone I can love
