Sir I am a pilgrim and a stranger in this land once I had a home here my salvation was at hand I lived in a house of gold yeah on the far hill side I had two beautiful children and a kind and loving wife
(chorus) and you live with unsatisfied heart, can you live with unsatisfied heart, can you live with unsatisfied heart, can you live with unsatisfied heart
and one day a man came to town with nothing and nowhere to go he came to me and he mentioned something I'd done a long time ago I allowed him into my home on his vow that secret wouldn't see the light at night I lay awake in my wife's arms she sighed Joe are you alright
(chorus)
day after day, time yeah time passed on by but I could feel myself changing yeah changing deep inside
one night I woke up and as my wife did sleep I got dressed in the darkness and I fled into the street
(chorus) (instrumental)
night after night the same dream keeps comin round I'm standing high on the green hills on the outskirts of town the night air fills my lungs and rustles my shirt I can see the house where we live the building where I used to work
as I draw near the town's lit by a red summer moon I feel your arms around me I wake up in this room
