Waterboys, The - The Ladder Lyrics






Once in my lifetime
I intend to see
The ladder ascending
In front of me

Once in my lifetime
I intend to see
The ladder ascending
In front of me

I've been searching without
I've been searching within
Up, down, all around, roundabout
Here and there, out and in

Because once in my lifetime
I intend to see
The ladder ascending
In front of me

I have a come a long way
Over oceans and hills
I'm weary and unwhole
And I need my cup refilled

Once in my lifetime
I intend to see
The ladder ascending
In front of me

    anto on mandolin makes this i think, great song from a great time. beautifully put together. do you think mike scott still hits these heights? to use an image of a ladder nowaday he strikes me as someone who feels he has ascended it and looks down upon others.

    No problem,thank you

    Mike Scott once had the most passionate and emotive voice in music. He could have sung "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and I would have wept!
    Great to see this once getting an airing.
