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
