Moving softly through the trees And the scent against your arm Long ago I knew your charm As I walk through the purple hills of soon forgotten woe Then my heart was in your hand And my heart was in your hand Do your lips still call my name? Would your mouth still taste the same? There I learn the sweetest words What price mercy yet? Though I steal all across the years, the memory lingers on All my heart in your hand All my heart in your hand Should I fall beside the road Everlasting wandering soul And my memory so blind And my heart was there ahead As I walk through the purple hills of long ago I know my heart is in your hand All my heart is in your hand My heart is in your hand All my heart ________________________________________________________ Walking Into Clarksdale When I was born I was running As my feet hit the ground Before I could talk I was humming An old railroad sound Things didn't get much better When by the age of five They found me walking into Clarksdale Trying to keep my friends alive No time for celebration Now there's no known cure Seeing I was born and raised On the wrong killing floor And my loved ones gathered round To see if the experiment had worked I was misplaced, out of time Privileged and worse Oh momma, please don't cry for me Tears to the river - tears to be free And I see twelve white horses Yeah, walking in line Moving east across that river bridge On highway forty-nine And standing in the shadows of a burned out motel Came the commonest Mississippian waiting with his hound from hell Oh, a shiny neon riverboat Taking income from the poor It's floating by the levee In an artificial pool A six-mile tailback back on junction two nine four A stranger at the crossroad I believe I'd seen his face before Oh, don't cry for me Tears fill the river - tears to be free I'm sad to be leaving The sun's gone down and I've really got to go now Sad to be leaving The sun's gone down - I've really got to go now Yeah, really got to go now I've got to go - I've got to move Sad to be leaving Sun's gone down - I've really got to go now Sad to be leaving The sun's gone down and I've really got to go now Yeah, really got to go now ___________________________________________________________ Burning Up My mind is cracked - I stand alone And my way is dark as night Back on the hill the wind did moan And big black clouds fly by The rain fell down - it drowned my heart It raged inside my soul A pain that tore the skies apart And a twisted night unfolds Oh, burning up - I'm burning up - I'm burning up This lonely road that I must walk All these tears that burn my eyes Emptiness my torment draws In my silent, loveless life Oh, burning up - I'm burning up - I'm burning up Oh, can you hear me? Hear me calling 'cross a thousand miles Oh, would you lead me? If I die, I die a thousand times [Like a volcano] I'm burning up [Like a volcano] I'm burning up -- ____________________________________________________________ When I Was a Child I was reaching for the future Slowly floating in the blue When I was a boy I dreamed a dream of you I danced upon the tree-top I drifted with the stream When I was a child I held you in my dream Once I was a soldier In my castle strong Oh, I stood so tall then I could do no wrong Innocence and slumber When I was a boy I was walking with a stranger He left without a trace When I was a boy I slept at heaven's gate Once I was a soldier [etc repeated] Once I was a soldier [etc repeated] ____________________________________________________ House of Love Oh, speak to me - tell me the truth Why don't you let me know?
