[00:00.50]
[00:01.78] I was walking far from home
[00:06.74] Where the names were not burned along the wall
[00:11.21] Saw a building, high as heaven
[00:15.87] But the door was so small, door was so small
[00:20.20] I saw rainclouds, little babies
[00:25.25] And a bridge that had tumbled to the ground
[00:29.47] I saw sinners making music
[00:34.25] And I dreamt of that sound,
[00:37.22] dreamt of that sound
[00:38.83] I was walking far from home
[00:43.50] But I carried your letters all the while
[00:48.22] I saw lovers in a window
[00:52.40] Whisper want me like time, want me like time
[00:57.31] I saw sickness bloom in fruit trees
[01:01.99] I saw blood and a bit of it was mine
[01:06.68] I saw children in a river
[01:11.21] But their lips were still dry,
[01:14.31] lips were still dry
[01:16.06] I was walking far from home
[01:20.62] And I found your face mingled in the crowd
[01:25.19] Saw a boat-full of believers
[01:29.77] Sail off talking too loud, talking too loud
[01:34.47] I saw sunlight on the water
[01:39.12] Saw a bird fall like a hammer from the sky
[01:44.00] An old woman on a speed train
[01:48.34] She was closing her eyes, closing her eyes
[01:53.05] I saw flowers on a hillside
[01:58.03] And a millionaire pissing on the lawn
[02:02.53] Saw a prisoner take a pistol
[02:07.00] And say join me in song, join me in song
[02:11.87] Saw a car crash in the country
[02:16.53] Where the prayers run like weeds along the road
[02:20.96] I saw strangers stealing kisses
[02:25.53] Giving only their clothes, only their clothes
[02:30.43] Saw a white dog chase it's tail
[02:35.28] And a pair of hearts carved into a stone
[02:39.59] I saw kindness and an angel
[02:44.18] Crying "take me back home, take me back home"
[02:49.06] Saw a highway, saw an ocean
[02:53.46] I saw widows in the temple to the Lord
[02:58.03] Naked dancers in the city
[03:02.81] How they spoke for us all, spoke for us all
[03:07.30] I saw loaded linen tables
[03:12.37] And a motherless colt then it was gone
[03:16.62] I saw hungry brothers waiting
[03:21.68] With the radio on, radio on
[03:26.10] I was walking far from home
[03:30.93] Where the names were not burned along the wall
[03:35.49] Saw a wet road form a circle
[03:40.22] And it came like a call,
[03:42.87] came like a call from the Lord
[03:47.61]
[04:17.60]
