Lyrics

In the promised land, nobody stopped to take a look at me
I walked you fall down, my hands were tied and you were out of reach.
She showed me how to tread water, she showed me how the fire eats, when she said:
“In the Temple of the Dawn you can see me there, speaking to the morning spirits
In the temple by the shore you can see me there, bathing with the mourning heroes.
Telling their stories, I’ve been reading those stories”
She told me, “stay a while, the water’s cool and we got miles of beach
And if you listen tightly, you know the waves and stones have words to teach.”
I was cold and lonely too, what could a man say, what could a man do?
For forty days I followed the movement of the plane Mercury
Until I could see clearly the path that lay right down in front of me.
Those nights were long and lonesome too
What could I say, what could I do. Till she said:
“In the Temple of the Dawn you can see me there, speaking to the morning spirits
In the temple by the shore you can see me there, bathing with the mourning heroes.
Reading their stories, while I’m telling my story.”
I seen the Temple of the Dawn
I seen the temple by the shore
Laid down in the Temple of the Dawn
Slow down in the temple by the shore.
