Song of the Day - In a Big Country

By Big Country.

You gotta love one-hit wonder 80s bands who named themselves after their lone accessible song. Nice Gaelic feel and some pretty good lyrics. Check it out here.

Lyrics:
I've never seen you look like this without a reason,
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you.
I never took the smile away from anybody's face,
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child.

CHORUS:
In a big country, dreams stay with you,
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside..
Stay alive -

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered


I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert,
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

CHORUS [x2]

So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you.
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded.
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming.
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted.
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered.

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert,
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

CHORUS [x3]
