Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us

Robert Plant · Raising Sand [2007]

Strange things are happening everyday

I hear the music up above my head

Though the side of my heart has left me again

I hear music up above



Secrets are written in the sky

Looks like I've lost the love I've never found

Though the sound of hope has left me again

I hear music up above



Standing in my broken heart all night long

Darkness held me like a friend when love was lost

Looking for the land thats hidden in the cross

The finders love

I know I loved you too much

I'll go alone to get through



I hear Rosetta singing in the night

Echos of lighting shine like stars after they're gone

And tonight she's my guide as a girl on the moon

With the music up above
