Lyrics

• 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

• I've 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, blooming 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 boatful 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

• Saw an old woman on the speed train

• She was closing her eyes, closing her eyes

• I saw flowers on the 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 its 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 law

• Naked dancers in the city

• How they spoke for us all, spoke for us all

• Saw loaded linen tables

• And a motherless colt, then it was gone

• I saw hungry brothers waiting

• With a 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
