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 fine home, I was respected and satisfied

I had two beautiful children and a kind and loving wife



Then one day a man came to town

A man with nothing and nowhere to go

He came to my door and mentioned

Something I'd done a long time ago

I allowed him into my home

On his vow that nothing would be said

One night I rose from a dreamless sleep

And I went to his bed

I watched as he lay sleeping, I reached out and touched his cheek

Felt a chill run through my bones and I fled into the street



I woke up in a motel room where ???

Like someone had thrust open a door

And closed it tight again

I tried to understand why I felt these things I felt

Why I walked these streets at night a stranger to myself



Last night the same dream keeps coming around

I'm standing high on the green hills

Looking across to the outskirts of town

The night air fills my lungs

Blowing and sweeps around me so strong

Stars rise in a black endless sky

Grow brighter and brighter then gone, gone, gone
