Jacob's Ladder - Julia Fordham

Seems no matter how I try

My Jacob’s ladder in the sky

Has all the fallen angels climbing down

Cross my heart and hope to live

Number one on my wish list

If the angels get here they’ll come round

To stop me pushing this ice block up hill

From running flat out to stand still

I would give the shirt off my back

I’d gladly make a deal

With any of the angels to change how I feel

I would hand over my soul

I’d relinquish all control

To any of the angels climbing down

Not fourteen more years of this

Stranded in the wilderness

If the angels get here send them round

To stop me from pushing this ice block up hill

From running flat out to stand still

I would give the shirt off my back

I’d gladly make a deal

With any of the angels to change how I feel

It’s not like I’ve stolen someone else’s blessing

Love’s still blind and maybe that’s the lesson

Stop me from pushing this ice block up hill

From running flat out to stand still

Stop me from pushing this ice block up hill

From running flat out to stand still

I would give the shirt off my back

I’d gladly make a deal

With any of the angels to change how I feel

I would give the shirt of my back to any of the angels
