Jacob's Ladder (Glasgow, UK, June 1980) Songtext
von Rush

I′d like to do an old song for you right now
This was done a long time ago by that decent Hornsby
This is called, "Jacob's Ladder"

The clouds prepare for battle
In the dark and brooding silence
Bruised and sullen storm clouds
And the light of day obscured


Looming low and ominous
In twilight premature
Thunderheads are rumbling
In a distant overture

All at once, the clouds are parted
Light streams down in bright unbroken beams

Follow the men′s eyes as they look to the skies
The shifting shafts of shining weave, the fabric of their dreams
