I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine Lyrics - John Wesley Harding - Bob Dylan

I dreamed I saw St. Augustine, 

Alive as you or me, 

Tearing through these quarters 

In the utmost misery, 

With a blanket underneath his arm 

And a coat of solid gold, 

Searching for the very souls 

Whom already have been sold. 

"Arise, arise," he cried so loud, 

With a voice without restraint, 

"Come out, ye gifted kings and queens 

And hear my sad complaint. 

No martyr is among ye now 

Whom you can call your own, 

But go on your way accordingly 

But know you're not alone."

I dreamed I saw St. Augustine, 

Alive with fiery breath, 

And I dreamed I was amongst the ones 

That put him out to death. 

Oh, I awoke in anger, 

So alone and terrified, 

I put my fingers against the glass 

And bowed my head and cried.
