Paroles de Fugitive's Dream (Ballad)
Sir, I am a pilgrim and a stranger in this landOnce I had a home here, my salvation was at hand
I lived in a fine home, I was respected and satisfied
I had two beautiful children and a kind and loving wife
Then one day a man came to town
A man with nothing and nowhere to go
He came to my door and mentioned
Something I'd done a long time ago
I allowed him into my home
On his vow that nothing would be said
One night I rose from a dreamless sleep
And I went to his bed
I watched as he lay sleeping
I reached down and touched his cheek
I felt a chill running through my bones
And I fled into the street
I woke up in a motel room with the light rushing in
Like someone had thrust open a door and closed it tightly again
I tried to understand the life I've lived and these things that I've felt
While I walk these streets at night, a stranger to myself
Last night the same dream keeps coming 'round The wind sweeps around me so strong
The stars rise in a black endless sky
Grow brighter and brighter
Then gone, gone, gone
He came to my door and mentioned
Something I'd done a long time ago
I allowed him into my home
On his vow that nothing would be said
One night I rose from a dreamless sleep
And I went to his bed
I watched as he lay sleeping
I reached down and touched his cheek
I felt a chill running through my bones
And I fled into the street
I woke up in a motel room with the light rushing in
Like someone had thrust open a door and closed it tightly again
I tried to understand the life I've lived and these things that I've felt
While I walk these streets at night, a stranger to myself
Last night the same dream keeps coming 'round The wind sweeps around me so strong
The stars rise in a black endless sky
Grow brighter and brighter
Then gone, gone, gone
