Holy Heart (Fall '08 Tour EP) Songtext
von Cedarwell

So I traveled far to Boston
With that suitcase on the plane
And I looked up a professor
I said "teach me my real name
And he said "no, no
I don′t have the words to teach you

So I drove to California
With that suitcase in my car
And I found the wisest doctor
I said, "doctor, help me sir
And he said "no, no, no, no, no
I don't have a pill to fix you

So I ran up to Montana
With that suitcase on my back
And I found the last live poet
I said, "show me what I lack
And he said "no, no, no, no, no, no, no
This is not a song to heal you

Holy Heart


So I walked to Arizona
Searching for my oldest friend
I said "friend, I′m getting tired
Could you hold me till the end
But he had a job, and a car, and a wife
To start a family of his own
And I don't know who could blame him
But it shook me to my bones
When he said "no." He said "no
I don't have the time to hold you

Holy Heart

So I crawled back to Wisconsin
Trying to find a piece of home
And I walked up to my pastor
I said "God, I′m so alone
He said "well have you been praying the way that we pray
And have you been going the places we go?" I said "no
And he said "no, no, no, no, no, no, no
This is not a home to house you

Holy Heart


So I flew right up to heaven
With that suitcase left behind
And I walked those streets of gold
Until I looked God in the eye
He said "son, you′re looking tired
But there's one more thing to ask
Do you believe in what you′re preaching
That the first will be the last
And I said "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everything I've done has been for you

Holy Heart
