Driving To Damascus Songtext
I was driving to Damascus when a sandstorm roseThe road disappeared and the axle frozeI was low on gas and lower on hopeI covered my eyes and I felt for the ropeThe wind was howling and the air it stungI breathed in dust and it burned my lungsAnd through the dust a driver cameSmall and twisted and his face was plainHe said love them allAll that you need when your heart is smallLove them allYou're gonna find them when they fallIt was not hard to make him outHe simply spoke while I had to shoutHe asked me where you driving child?His voice was clear but his eyes were wildI said I'm going to the cityTo meet the high and proudAnd let them know that angerIs the nature of the crowdHe said love them allAll that you need when your heart is smallLove them allYou're gonna find them when they fallLove them allAll that you need when your heart is smallLove them allYou're gonna find them when they fallHe said your words are lost on the deadWhen you belong to themOnce I was dead and I knew the wordsOf those dry and hollow menAnd he took the rope and he hitched me upFreed me from the dustAnd he helped me round the pilgrims upAnd lead them to the busHe said love them allAll that you need when your heart is smallLove them allYou're gonna find them when they fallLove them allAll that you need when your heart is smallLove them allYou're gonna find them when they fallLove thema llAll that you need when your heart is smallLove them allYou're gonna find them when they fall
