Scissors Crossing Songtext
von Tim Cameron

When we got to Scissors Crossing
I thought we′d died and gone to heaven
All our friends were waiting patiently
And the angels cheered our entrance

I was born one April morning
I'll go to sleep a little later
A whole long lifetime in between
Then an empty ever-after


Then in August came my middle age
Lost a friend and missed her dearly
I′d give more than I can afford
Just to feel her laughter cheer me

And soon I'll meet that monument
In the gloaming of October
This novel now just a ragged spine
No more pages to turn over

Even pain is another kind of beauty
So give me one last night on the earth before you take it from me

Even pain is another kind of beauty
That's why I hold you a little too tight, even though I know you′ll cut me


Going back to Scissors Crossing
Where the smiles are full of kindness
When you finally feel you′ve had enough
Love, you know just where to find us
