Barricades of Heaven - Live

Running down around the towns along the shore
 When I was sixteen and on my own
 No, I couldn't tell you what the hell those brakes were for
 I was just trying to hear my song
 Jimmy found his own sweet sound and won that free guitar
 We'd all get in the van and play
 Life became the paradox, the bear, the rouge et noir
 And the stretch of road running to l.a.
 Pages turning
 Pages we were years from learning
 Straight into the night our hearts were flung
 Better bring your own redemption when you come
 To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
 All the world was shining from those hills
 The stars above and the lights below
 Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills
 I lost track of the score long ago
 Pages turning
 Pages we were years from learning
 Straight into the night our hearts were flung
 Better bring your own redemption when you come
 To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
 Childhood comes for me at night
 Voices of my friends
 Your face bathing me in light
 Hope that never ends
 Pages turning
 Pages torn and pages burning
 Faded pages, open in the sun
 Better bring your own redemption when you come
 To the barricades of heaven where I'm from.
 Better bring your own redemption when you come
 To the barricades of heaven where I'm from.
