Lyrics

There were comets in the sky
On the night that I was born
Six women closed the circle
And my mother's flesh was torn
They took me to the ocean
Washed me in the sea
My senses screamed and the air rushed in
And my father said to me
One day
You're gonna sing this song
That day
That day a long time gone
I was raised to be a prophet
I was born to raise the dead
All the scriptures of the Bible
Ran lonesome in my head
I was ten when my Daddy lay down
Twelve when he passed away
For two long years as the sky grew dark
I'd sit by his bed and pray
One day
You're gonna sing this song
That day
That day a long time gone
There were flowers in the meadow
Flowers in the air
Flowers in my lover's eyes
And trailing through his hair
He took me from the meadow
He nailed me to his bed
My eyes rolled back at the touch of his love
And I clutched at the words he said
One day
You're gonna sing this song
That day
That day a long time gone
Come on, baby
Take a bow
I hear you crying
Don't stop now
It's so simple
There's no blame
Not all the poets go up in flames
I look across the river
The ferryman's coming fast
There's a light up in the sky
That's gonna take me home at last
Walking in this world of pain
Miracles everyday
Chains that bind me to this flesh
So I dare not slip away
One day
You're gonna sing this song
That day
That day a long time gone
One day
You're gonna sing this song
That day
That day a long time gone
A long time gone
A long time gone
A long time gone
