Patti Scialfa - Big Black Heaven lyrics

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
