Walking Far From Home Lyrics - Kiss Each Other Clean - Iron & Wine

I was walking far from home 

Where the names were not burned along the wall 

Saw a building high as heaven 

But the door was so small, door was so small 

I saw rain clouds, little babies 

And a bridge that had tumbled to the ground 

I saw sinners making music 

And I dreamt of that sound, dreamt of that sound 

I was walking far from home 

But I carried your letters all the while 

I saw lovers in a window 

Whisper "want me like time, want me like time" 

I saw sickness bloom in fruit trees 

I saw blood and a bit of it was mine 

I saw children in a river 

But their lips were still dry, lips were still dry

I was walking far from home 

And I found your face mingled in the crowd 

Saw a boat full of believers 

Sail off talking too loud, talking too loud 

I saw sunlight on the water 

Saw a bird fall like a hammer from the sky 

An old woman on the speed train 

She was closing her eyes, closing her eyes 

I saw flowers on a hillside 

And a millionaire pissing on the lawn 

Saw a prisoner take a pistol 

And say "join me in song, join me song" 

Saw a car crash in the country 

Where the prayers run like weeds along the road 

I saw strangers stealing kisses 

Leaving only their clothes, only their clothes 

Photos 

Saw a white dog chase its tail 

And a pair of hearts carved into a stone 

I saw kindness and an angel 

Crying take me back home, take me back home 

Saw a highway, saw an ocean 

I saw widows in the temple to the Lord 

Naked dancers in the city 

How they spoke for us all, spoke for us all 

I saw loaded linen tables 

And a motherless colt then it was gone 

I saw hungry brothers waiting 

With the radio on, radio on 

I was walking far from home 

Where the names were not burned along the wall 

Saw a wet road form a circle 

And it came like a call, came like a call from the Lord
