๐ Lyrics
A man sticks his fingers inside of his mouth
The words are stuck in there, he fishes them out
Whispers and mumbles, statements and verse
Curses and love songs for nobody else
Man takes a pencil and puts down his thoughts
The old human highway from Eden to Nod
Brothers and sisters, husbands and wives
Strangers and cripples, in love with their lives
How they dance, in a trance where the river bends
Here we go, don't you know that it never ends
Some who ride, some who slide
Everyone you know
Travels on that great western road
How they laugh, raise a glass, drink a bottle down
Any face, any place, in this northern town
Dragging on, send them home
Glascow to Rome
Travel on that great western road
Man goes to show world and dreams of the stars
He leans to the left, he leans to the north
He learns to be humble, he learns from the trees
And all of God's creatures
To him they would speak, saying wake up my little lambs
Wake up, it's time to begin
Wake up, it's all that you are
Wake up and it's not very far
Beggar-man soldier-man
Beggar-man, a thief
Some are young, some are old
And some on their knees
Broken legs, broken nose
Swaying to and fro
As they walk the great western road
Every snake, every bird, every creeping thing
Like a knife, in the night I see her again
Blessed heart, blessed word
Blessed skin and bones
All along that great western road
The words are stuck in there, he fishes them out
Whispers and mumbles, statements and verse
Curses and love songs for nobody else
Man takes a pencil and puts down his thoughts
The old human highway from Eden to Nod
Brothers and sisters, husbands and wives
Strangers and cripples, in love with their lives
How they dance, in a trance where the river bends
Here we go, don't you know that it never ends
Some who ride, some who slide
Everyone you know
Travels on that great western road
How they laugh, raise a glass, drink a bottle down
Any face, any place, in this northern town
Dragging on, send them home
Glascow to Rome
Travel on that great western road
Man goes to show world and dreams of the stars
He leans to the left, he leans to the north
He learns to be humble, he learns from the trees
And all of God's creatures
To him they would speak, saying wake up my little lambs
Wake up, it's time to begin
Wake up, it's all that you are
Wake up and it's not very far
Beggar-man soldier-man
Beggar-man, a thief
Some are young, some are old
And some on their knees
Broken legs, broken nose
Swaying to and fro
As they walk the great western road
Every snake, every bird, every creeping thing
Like a knife, in the night I see her again
Blessed heart, blessed word
Blessed skin and bones
All along that great western road
