Blind Peace When you see us on the street We may not always catch your eye You’ll look warily upon us And pass us by Our eye are not hollow Our souls are not dry There are things that we must carry That sometimes weigh us down A burden we all shoulder From a time we would rather leave behind A dream got suddenly bad And a peace that has gone blind Names etched in a cold black wall A memorial to a deadly violent past Where youth fell in vain And souls live eternal In red dust and in rain These are the things we carry That often weigh us down A burden we all shoulder From a time we would rather leave behind Where dreams went suddenly bad And peace chose to be blind And peace chose to be blind Where youth fell in vain And souls live eternal In red dust and in rain In red dust and in rain

Down on Wells Street Early in the decade I was living on my own Lived down on Wells Street And Chicago was my Home Met lots of ladies But I never stayed around too long I’d hang around from night till dawn And by morning I’d be gone I was a runaway from a long, long time ago Till I met this lady She was young and fair and wise Neither one of us hesitated With loneliness in our eyes She had lots of lovers But she never stayed around too long She’d hang around from night till dawn And by morning she’d be gone She was a runaway from a long, long time ago We walked in the rain And we talked of each other’s pains Ate sardine sandwiches And nothing was arranged Kept each other awake all night Laughing at the moon I fell asleep in my rocking chair And when I woke up she was gone Early in the decade I was living on my own Lived down on Wells Street And Chicago was my home Whenever I see the rain And whenever feel the pain I think about the days to come And will I ever see her again She was a runaway from a long, long time ago A runaway from a long, long time ago A runaway from a long, long time ago A runaway from a long, long time ago

Goin’ North It’s OK, it’s alright I can see it in your eyes You don’t want me around here anymore It’s OK, it’s alright There’s no need to apologize I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North I’m goin’ North I’m goin’ North I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North When I came to this town I had a love to keep my warm Now she has gone and closed the door Now this town is empty And I’ve got to travel on I’m leaving on the next rain goin’ North I’m goin’ North I’m goin’ North I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North My train’s a comin’ Can’t your hear that lonesome whistle blow I can’t wait to get out of this town My train’s a comin’ Goin’ where those chilly winds blow I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North I’m goin’ North I’m goin’ North I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North My little darlin I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North

On My Way Home My pack is heavy, my knee are weak And I’m a long way from home I’ve been on the road for many a day And I hope it won’t be too long I’m on my way home Sun is burning down my neck And it’s now nearly noon Morning has come and gone And there’s still no clue I’m on my way home I can see the morning and the sun rise in her eyes If I could catch a ride, I might make it home tonight Every time someone passes me by Tears fill my eyes, it’s not hard to understand Why. I’m on my way home My journey’s done, I said hello everyone Now I need my rest I can see the morning and the sun arise As I lay down my head on her breast Lay down my head on her breast I can see the morning and the sun rise in her eyes If I could catch a ride, I might make it home tonight Every time someone passes me by Tears fill my eyes, it’s not hard to understand Why. I’m on my way home I’m on my way home I’m on my way home
