The Petal Falls - In The Shadow Of The Clan Lyrics

In Montgomery Alabama
Where the children sing
That freedom has a mother
With coloured skin
In the shadow of the clan
Under a burning
Stood the church of the people
But now it's all dust
Nobody gonna keep us apart
Nobody gonna split these two hearts

There's nothing gonna keep us apart
No shadows gonna split these two hearts
There's nothing gonna keep us apart
No shadows gonna break these two hearts

Down like a hammer
On a sheet of glass
Scarred for a lifetime
From a shotgun blast
Picking up the pieces
Time and again
Picking up the pieces
Again and again
Say you have a lover
Nobody thinks it's wrong
Say you love a coloured man
Everybody says he won't live long

There's nothing gonna keep us apart
No shadows gonna split these two hearts
There's nothing gonna keep us apart
No shadows gonna break these two hearts

In the shadow of the clan
In the shadow of the clan
Under a burning cross

There's nothing gonna keep us apart
No shadows gonna split these two hearts
There's nothing gonna keep us apart
No shadows gonna break these two hearts
There's nothing gonna keep us apart
No shadows gonna split these two hearts
There's nothing gonna keep us apart
No shadows gonna break these two hearts
No nothing
There's nothing gonna keep us apart
No no nothing
No shadows gonna break these two hearts
There's nothing gonna keep us apart
No shadows gonna break these two hearts
There's nothing gonna keep us apart
No shadows gonna break these two hearts
There's nothing gonna keep us apart
No shadows gonna break these two hearts
There's nothing gonna keep us apart
No shadows gonna break these two hearts
