Packing vagabond visions and a dream drenched hunger for a homenSwaddled in road dirt, blood stained blankets and poemsnOn a stormy suitcase Sunday I awakened to the scream of the birdsnThey held their high notes and offered prayer without wordsnnSinking in asphalt, speechlessness and what could of beennSurrounded by strangers, scarred stars, stoned broken mennRiding the narcotic night, 'til she swerved and smashed into the curbnMorning spilled from the wreckage and offered prayer without wordsnnChains on the mast pull the past, nothing lasts but nothing ever endsnI leave town, break new ground, break down, leave town againnTrapped in the circle, anchored to the weight of the worldnUnder shooting stars that sink the skies and offer prayer without wordsnnJustice rides with jaundiced eyes, jaded judges bleed the broken benchnLiberty's a homicide, she been flogged to death with money's monkey wrenchnDesperado apostates set fire to every holy word we've heardnSilence billows from the burning book and offers prayer without wordsnnSurrender, that sweet cleaning girl, folds white flags in Hallelujah SquarenShe can't remember where she's been, one day I'm gonna join her therenUnpack my battered traveling case, hang out a sign that says Do Not DisturbnDissolve into a dreamless sleep that offers prayer without words
