Quiet as that secret you keep Still in your heart as you sleep Old as the lay of the land Cold as all matters at hand Long as the river of song Mad as the world it moves on
High as the heavenly sea Low lays the devil in me High as the heavenly sea Low lays the devil in me
Straight as the wood of the cross Wild as all the love that you lost As sure as inside the egg lays the yolk I'm standing outside the gates of hell And I'll keep singing 'til I croak (oh baby!)
High as the heavenly sea Low lays the devil in me High as the heavenly sea Low lays the devil in me
Come lay your head on my lap And let your hair fall back You've got to live with yourself So baby don't look back Come lay your head on my lap And let your hair fall back You've got to live with yourself So baby don't look back (Don't look back!)
High as the heavenly sea Low lays the devil in me (X4)
