You used to shake the ground And the walls around my house But i found comfort in the sound And though you're just as loud I barely hear you now You're like the train behind my house I used to kiss the ground You walked around my house
But now there's dust in my mouth I used to know your word Believed the things i'd heard But sometimes, lord, it seems absurd Take off your shoes This is holy ground Take off your shoes And walk the rusty rails behind my house
