Driving To Damascus Lyrics - Driving To Damascus - Big Country

I was driving to Damascus when a sandstorm rose 

The road disappeared and the axle froze 

I was low on gas and lower on hope 

I covered my eyes and I felt for the rope 

The wind was howling and the air it stung 

I breathed in dust and it burned my lungs 

And through the dust a driver came 

Small and twisted and his face was plain 

He said love them all 

All that you need when your heart is small 

Love them all 

You're gonna find them when they fall 

It was not hard to make him out 

He simply spoke while I had to shout 

He asked me where you driving child? 

His voice was clear but his eyes were wild 

I said I'm going to the city 

To meet the high and proud 

And let them know that anger 

Is the nature of the crowd 

He said love them all 

All that you need when your heart is small 

Love them all 

You're gonna find them when they fall 

Love them all 

All that you need when your heart is small 

Love them all 

You're gonna find them when they fall 

He said your words are lost on the dead 

When you belong to them 

Once I was dead and I knew the words 

Of those dry and hollow men 

And he took the rope and he hitched me up 

Freed me from the dust 

And he helped me round the pilgrims up 

And lead them to the bus 

He said love them all 

All that you need when your heart is small 

Love them all 

You're gonna find them when they fall 

Love them all 

All that you need when your heart is small 

Love them all 

You're gonna find them when they fall 

Love them all 

All that you need when your heart is small 

Love them all 

You're gonna find them when they fall
