Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us Lyrics
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 ive lost the love ive 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 heald me like a freind when love was lost
Looking for the land thats hidden in the cross
The finders love
I know I loved you too much
Ill go alone to get through
I hear rosetta singing in the night
Echos of lighting shine like stars after there gone
And tonight shes my giude as a girl on the moon
With the music up above
I hear the music up above my head
Though the side of my heart has left me again
I hear music up above
Looks like ive lost the love ive never found
Though the sound of hope has left me again
I hear music up above
Darkness heald me like a freind when love was lost
Looking for the land thats hidden in the cross
The finders love
I know I loved you too much
Ill go alone to get through
Echos of lighting shine like stars after there gone
And tonight shes my giude as a girl on the moon
With the music up above

Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a Gospel singer in the 1930s-40s who pretty much pioneered combining traditional spiritual lyrics and secular rock accompaniment. Some of the songs she is best known for are "Strange Things Happening Every Day," and "Up Above My Head." Thing is, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss made it low-tempo, even including a little Tarantella, but Sister Rosetta's music was very up-beat and tempo and very Rock-n-Roll, just with Gospel lyrics. I think that is the biggest reason I like the song- the difference between the real woman and how Alison is singing.
I like this song. Those lyrics are not right.
See what you think.
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 mark 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
I found that version at a similar site.
John Tyndall (poem) ... Where the dull 'lines of ignorance lay dark He cruised,' till secret places were made clear, And on dim borders set his finder's mark. ...
You also used the wrong "They're". the most annoying thing in the world. "Echos of lighting shine like stars after there gone" They Are! THEY ARE!!

i think this song has a gypsy-mystic feel to it. it's my favorite off their new album....as to the meaning, i think it has to do with the feelings we have after a heartbreak. in the song, sister rosetta seems to be a guide to help guide her feelings
