Holy Grail Lyrics


This is the way that you made it
It’s like a desert you laid it so bare
Walking again in these badlands
Follow me if you will if you dare
Look to the sky I stand under
And I suppose you might say I’ve been blessed
Breathe in the air that is burning your face
Feel the wind that’s so heavy with dust
This is the way that you wanted to be
Now abide by the rules you made
Pitch to the wind if you want
But you wont be my hope or my holy grail
Is this not what you expected
Or believe the consequence
Though you still look for the garden

In the place of this end fairy tales
You know you can’t reap what has never been sown
Now forgive me but I’ve got to leave
Standing away to see its all over
So you see we have no common ground
This is the way that you wanted to be
Now abide by the rules you made
Call out my name if you want
But you wont be my hope or my holy grail
Call my name!
Call my name!
This is the sound of my hearthbeat
And the sound of the air that I breathe
Here is the mouth that I speak with
And the words that come so hard to me
These are the eyes that I look through
And their colors are grey, blue and green
These are the thoughts that burn right through my brain
Like a brand to show what I have seen
This is the way that you wanted to be
Now abide by the rules you made
Bitch to the moon if you want
But you wont be my hope or my holy grail
Call my name!
Call my name!
Call my name!

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Heidi Berry was born in Boston, Massachusetts, but moved to the UK in the early Seventies. She made her debut recording, "Firefly", for Alan McGee's Creation Records in 1987, and followed this up with an album, "Below The Waves" in 1989. One of the standout songs from this collection, "Northshore Train", was also featured on the Creation records compilation, "Doing It For The Kids", and easily showed itself as the standout track on what was an excellent compilation.

Heidi later moved to 4AD, after appearing on an album by This Mortal Coil, and the 1990's saw three beautiful, singular albums - "Love", "Heidi Berry" and "Miracle". A compilation, "Pomegranate" is also available.

Heidi Berry is the owner of one of the most emotive voices to ever record, and her songwriting has her ranking up there with Sandy Denny, Nick Drake, John Martyn and the miniscule few others who share her mastery of this art. The fact that she is not far more successful than she is can come as a bit of a shock after listening to just one of her many songs. If ever a singer deserves wider acclaim during their lifetime, it is Heidi. Read more on Last.fm.
