Lyrics for Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us

Strange things are happening everyday I hear the music up above my head Though the sight 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 wore off Looking for the lamb that's hidden in the cross The finder's lost I know I loved you too much I'll go alone to get through I hear Rosetta singing in the night Echos of light that shines like stars after they're gone And tonight she's my guide as I go on alone With the music up above
