On the Road to Calvary (For Jeff Buckley) [Live]
I saw St. Christopher walking downtown on main
With Black Madonna fingers holding a flame
I saw an eagle rising out of the blue
I heard a car crash it reminded me of you
I saw a baby starve in North Africa
Too weak to cry, her tears fell down on the straw
I saw this orphan lift her vagabond eyes
Right at that moment I came to realize that
You carry me ac ross the mighty river
You lift me up above the raging sea
You give me all this love you deliver
Straight to my back porch on the road to calvary
I saw this rich man with his bracelets of gold
Four cars, yacht and a mistress I'm told
Somewhere a restless wind blows out to the sea
Somewhere there is a place for you and for me
You carry me ac ross the mighty river
You lift me up above the raging sea
You give me all this love you deliver
Straight to my back porch on the road to calvary
Now if you're wondering where I was last night
With black madonna yeah she gave me a light
I guess there's not a whole lot more I can say
Just tell St. Christopher where all on our way
You carry me ac ross the mighty river
You lift me up above the raging sea
You give me all this love you deliver
Straight to my back porch on the road to calvary
You carry me ac ross the mighty river
You lift me up above the raging sea
You give me all this love you deliver
With Black Madonna fingers holding a flame
I saw an eagle rising out of the blue
I heard a car crash it reminded me of you
I saw a baby starve in North Africa
Too weak to cry, her tears fell down on the straw
I saw this orphan lift her vagabond eyes
Right at that moment I came to realize that
You carry me ac ross the mighty river
You lift me up above the raging sea
You give me all this love you deliver
Straight to my back porch on the road to calvary
I saw this rich man with his bracelets of gold
Four cars, yacht and a mistress I'm told
Somewhere a restless wind blows out to the sea
Somewhere there is a place for you and for me
You carry me ac ross the mighty river
You lift me up above the raging sea
You give me all this love you deliver
Straight to my back porch on the road to calvary
Now if you're wondering where I was last night
With black madonna yeah she gave me a light
I guess there's not a whole lot more I can say
Just tell St. Christopher where all on our way
You carry me ac ross the mighty river
You lift me up above the raging sea
You give me all this love you deliver
Straight to my back porch on the road to calvary
You carry me ac ross the mighty river
You lift me up above the raging sea
You give me all this love you deliver
