CROSS UPON A CORD
Written by Victoria Woodworth © Feed Gonzo Music (BMI)

I knew a man who said he loved me, now I understand he never will
And so I open up my eyes and crawl down to the water and get my fill

And every road under my feet gives me a shout
I don’t know how or why we had to have a falling out
I’m covered up with all your promises and rust
Later on, I’m gonna watch ‘em buckle into dust

I got the cross upon a cord from a woman selling silver down a’ ways
And I keep it right across my heart ‘cause I need a reminder every day

God is a man of few words when it comes to me
I can feel him moving high above the trees
He lays me down and listens to me cry
Later on, he lays a hand across my eyes

I am not feeling very holy, afraid I do not know a single saint
I feel a little more like someone who’s always seeing faces in the paint

Now that you know about these things do what you must
I cannot promise I’ll be worthy of your trust
There’s just a couple of things I know now to be true
And neither one of them has anything to do with you

I got the cross upon a cord
From a good friend making silver down a’ ways
And I keep it right across my heart ‘cause I need a reminder everyday
