Walking Far From Home
(专辑: Kiss Each Other Clean - 2011)
I
was walking far from home Where the
names were not burned along the
wall Saw a
building, high as heaven But the
door was so small, door was so small I
saw rainclouds, little babies And a
bridge that had tumbled to the
ground I
saw sinners making music And I
dreamt of that sound, dreamt of that sound I
was walking far from home But I
carried your letters all the
while I
saw lovers in a
window Whisper want me like time, want me like time I
saw sickness bloom in fruit trees I
saw blood and a
bit of it was mine I
saw children in a
river But their lips were still dry, lips were still dry I
was walking far from home And I
found your face mingled in the
crowd Saw a
boat-full of believers Sail off talking too loud, talking too loud I
saw sunlight on the
water Saw a
bird fall like a
hammer from the
sky An old woman on a
speed train She was closing her eyes, closing her eyes I
saw flowers on a
hillside And a
millionaire pissing on the
lawn Saw a
prisoner take a
pistol And say join me in song, join me in song Saw a
car crash in the
country Where the
prayers run like weeds along the
road I
saw strangers stealing kisses Giving only their clothes, only their clothes Saw a
white dog chase it's tail And a
pair of hearts carved into a
stone I
saw kindness and an angel Crying "take me back home, take me back home" Saw a
highway, saw an ocean I
saw widows in the
temple to the
Lord Naked dancers in the
city How they spoke for us all, spoke for us all I
saw loaded linen tables And a
motherless colt then it was gone I
saw hungry brothers waiting With the
radio on, radio on I
was walking far from home Where the
names were not burned along the
wall Saw a
wet road form a
circle And it came like a
call, came like a
call from the
Lord
