In a Big Country piano leadsheet with chords

I've never seen you look like this without a reason.

Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you.

I never took the smile away from anybody's face,

and that's a desp'rate way to look for someone who is still a child.

In a big country dreams stay with you like a lover's voice fires the mountainside.

Stay alive.

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered,

but you can't stay here with ev'ry single hope you had shattered.

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert,

but I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime.

In a big country dreams stay with you like a lover's voice fires the mountainside.

Stay alive.

In a big country dreams stay with you like a lover's voice fires the mountainside.

Stay alive.

So take that look out of here,

it doesn't fit you.

Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded.

Pull up your head off the floor.

Come up screaming!

Cry out for ev'rything you ever might have wanted.

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered,

but you can't stay here with ev'ry single hope you had shattered.

In a big country dreams stay with you like a lover's voice fires the mountainside.

Stay alive.

In a big country dreams stay with you like a lover's voice fires the mountainside.

Stay alive.
