With downcast eyes, the multitude sat

as the cattle cars pulled along the rusty tracks

One raised his hand in the fading light

Said, “Excuse me sir, this doesn’t seem right”

Now he’s…



Gone like whispers

Gone like rain

Gone like the faithful while the faithless remain

Gone like the stone the builder refused

Gone and overdue



There’s a river in Texas with a strong undertow

No one crosses it to freedom, no one pans for gold

Its waters are clear but its waters are cold

Its current is swift and no one knows where it goes

It’s just…



Gone like whispers

Gone like rain

Gone like the faithful while the faithless remain

Gone like the stone

The builder refused

Gone and overdue



In a cold desert corner, don’t appear on no map

Coyote’s scream, rips the night in half

He hears the devil coming, footsteps on the path

So he chews off his own leg to get out of the trap

And he’s…



Gone like whispers

Gone like rain

Gone like the faithful while the faithless remain

Gone like the stone

The builder refused

Gone and overdue
