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
