We were trav'ling for a day or two To the place we'll never be with you We were bumming for some cigarettes Strangest people that you ever met
We were going to another town Miles unraveling behind our backs Possibilities just let us down Writing poetry on guitar necks
All the things we've been familiar with Seem to slowly wander off our sight Running hand in hand with summer breeze Trains we hop to kill another night
Voices humming in distorted tones Ghosts that follow us, a solemn tribe Our posessions is a load of songs Our fortune is the minor vibe
Books we read in eyes of passers-by Telling stories in a couple of words On our marks again with hostile life Drinking water for the salt of earth
In the distance hear the churchbell toll Silver planes that cut against the sky Something new to feed the hungry souls Something precious for the heart to hide
