Walking Far from Home

this is what I heard:

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 "warn me like time, warn 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 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 and 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 Given 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 Lord Naked dancers in the city How they spoke for us all, spoke for us all I saw loaded linen tables And a motherless coat 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 red road form a circle And it came like a call, came like a call From the lord
