He leaves another city, another town alone
He drives and he drives and drives back home
Jesus meets him at the door his eyes share his pain
They sitting quiet on the couch, there is nothing to say
The silence between them rises like water on a cool riverbed
Underneath their feet and all around their heads
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, used condoms on the floor
She quickly covers up and puts on the dress she wore
She drives back alone to her apartment
Jesus is waiting up for her she is not forgotten
Tears on her cheek as warm as the night
Jesus holds her hands and he squeezes ‘em tight
A man loves a woman, a woman loves a man
A woman giving birth, a man holds her hand
She screams and screams but her baby never will
Man sees his baby boy all blue and still
Parents no more they weep and they weep
Jesus holds that baby boy and he kisses his check
If I were able I would fight like a storm
For you whom I love all tired and torn
I'd drive away the evil at your side
Far away into the night
Far away into the night
So far away into the night
