The Calvary Cross

Richard Thompson

[Verse 1]
I was under the Calvary Cross
The pale-faced lady, she said to me
I've watched you with my one green eye
I'll hurt you till you need me

[Verse 2]
You scuff your heels and you spit on your shoes
You do nothing with reason
One day you catch a train
Never leaves the station

[Chorus]
Everything you do
Everything you do
You do for me

[Verse 3]
Now you can make believe on your tin whistle
Ah, and you can be my broom boy
Scrub me till I shine in the dark
I'll be your light till doomsday

[Verse 4]
Oh, it's a black cat cross your path
And why don't you follow?
My claw's in you and my light's in you
This is your first day of sorrow

[Chorus]
Everything you do
Everything you do
You do for me
