Fugitive's Dream (Ballad)

[00:00.08] Sir, I am a pilgrim and a stranger in this land
[00:11.87] Once I had a home here, my salvation was at hand
[00:23.25] I lived in a fine home, I was respected and satisfied
[00:34.16] I had two beautiful children and a kind and loving wife
[00:46.26] Then one day a man came to town
[00:50.45] A man with nothing and nowhere to go
[00:57.81] He came to my door and mentioned
[01:02.16] Something I'd done a long time ago
[01:09.71] I allowed him into my home
[01:13.57] On his vow that nothing would be said
[01:20.74] One night, I rose from a dreamless sleep
[01:25.28] And I went to his bed
[01:32.02] I watched as he lay sleeping
[01:36.95] I reached down and touched his cheek
[01:43.82] I felt a chill running through my bones
[01:48.61] And I fled into the street
[02:04.57] I woke up in a motel room with the light rushing in
[02:15.96] Like someone had thrust open a door and closed it tightly again
[02:27.45] I tried to understand the life I've lived and these things that I've felt
[02:38.92] While I walk these streets at night, a stranger to myself
[03:00.38] Last night, the same dream keeps coming 'round
[03:08.93] I'm standing high in the Green Hills
[03:13.60] Looking 'cross the outskirts of town
[03:21.44] The night air fills my lungs
[03:25.53] The wind sweeps around me so strong
[03:32.17] The stars rise in a black endless sky
[03:37.10] Grow brighter and brighter
[03:41.51] Then gone, gone, gone
[03:44.61]
