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



(chorus)
