Teardrops rusting on a steel bar
|
Harmonica blues
|
Heartblood thick enough for pine tar
|
I've got a hole in my delta shoes
|
Grown men wither and they dry away
|
Their lives compromised
|
I've gotta hold on
|
Struggle through another day
|
To see the fire in my baby's eyes
|
Society's debt have been more than paid
|
|
In seven more days
|
I'll be home to you
|
And the walls will tumble down
|
That's separating us two
|
The Jericho mile and a river so wide
|
In seven more days
|
There will be no more divide
|
|
Bad dreams, cornerstone realities
|
Bears witness to shame
|
Hell's gate - a landscaped brutality
|
All material gain
|
But she's home praying on her hands & knees
|
That safe shall I part
|
But I am guilty of her memory
|
But there's no crime in my heart
|
Society's debts have been more than paid
|
|
In seven more days
|
I'll be home to you
|
And the walls will tumble down
|
That's separating us two
|
The Jericho mile and a river so wide
|
In seven more days
|
There will be no more divide
|
|
Lawful society
|
Says this is what you get
|
Tearful sobriety of
|
Matters that you soon regret
|
It all adds up to time
|
Debts have been more than paid
|
|
In seven more days
|
I'll be home to you
|
And the walls will tumble down
|
That's separating us two
|
The Jericho mile and a river so wide
|
In seven more days
|
There will be no more divide
|
