Dry Bones Songtext

von Okkervil River

Well Enoch
He lived to be
Three-hundred and sixty-five
When the Lord came and took him
Back to Heaven alive
I saw
I saw the light from Heaven
Shining all around
I saw the light come shining
I saw that light come down

Paul, all pleading in prison
And them prison walls fell down
The prison keeper shouted
Redeeming love I've found
I saw
I saw the light from Heaven
Shining all around
I saw the light come shining
I saw that light come down

When Moses saw that burning bush
He walked it round and round
And the Lord said to Moses
You's treading holy ground
I saw
I saw the light from Heaven
Shining all around
I saw the light come shining
I saw that light come down

Adam and Eve
In that garden
Under that sycamore tree
Eve said Adam, a Satan is a-tempting me
I saw
I saw the light from Heaven
Shining all around
I saw the light come shining
I saw that light come down

These dry bones in that valley
Got up and took a little walk
The deaf could hear
And the dumb could talk
I saw
I saw the light from Heaven
Shining all around
I saw the light come shining
I saw that light come down
