the mississippi river was rolling like a stone into the sea
the boys were playing bluegrass
and the wind was singing just like a choir howls to be free
oh the hope was so clear, it was clear as a window washed daily by the rain
i could touch it with the pads of my fingers
i could touch it just like your heart heals my pain
old paul says it takes heart and bones, heart and bones
to make it through
like the train moves through the mountain
through the mountain with its metal and its fuel
well that's like my heart
this body it ain't mine to keep
well that's like my heart
and you say, baby that's a start
we're all stones rolling down here to the sea
the radio was playing the sound of ice skates moving in the dark
we were smoking pipes and beating drums
oh we were holding life like a smoking gun
the fire in the bowl was leading
like the spirit leads a pilgrim to her home
she said, home is the place you never know
till the knowledge of the home you left is gone
teresa says it's a waiting game, it's waiting game
to make it through
there's a wilderness in every one of us
for every one of us
now honey, that's the truth
