Walking Far From Home

walking far from home - iron and wine A E i was walking far from home , Fm D where the names were not burned along the wall . A E saw a building high as heaven , Fm D but the door was so small , door was so small . i saw rain clouds , 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 the speed train she was closing her eyes , closing her eyes i saw flowers on a hillside find more lyrics at www . sweetslyrics . com and a millionaire pissing on the lawn saw a prisoner take a pistol and say "join me in song , join me song" saw a car crash in the country where the prayers run like weeds along the road i saw strangers stealing kisses leaving 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 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
