From way up here them mountains look like waves in an endless sea
shining, shimering, all baby-blue & pea-green
& I was wishing that you were here to see this crazy scene
when something just came over me & I laid down between the trees
& I dreamed I was a liar
& I ran away
I had no place to go
I had no place to stay
& I dreamed that I was dying
and I know that I am
because when I woke up
I was not the same man
From way up here this ocean looks like a table
made of stone. Will you wait for me on the other side?
Will you cross it all alone?
I was just wishing you were here to see this endless lack of land
and something just came over me, so I laid down in the sand
& I dreamed I was a liar & I ran away
I had no place to go, I had no place to stay
I dreamed that I was dying, & I know that I am
because when I woke up, I was not the same man,
No I'm not the same man. I 'm just a ghost, a shell & a song
of a man, drifting through the air to the promised land...
