I'm Not There movie - I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine lyrics

rate me

Song by John Doe<br /><br>

I dreamed I saw St. Augustine, <br>

Alive as you or me, <br>

Tearing through these quarters <br>

In the utmost misery, <br>

With a blanket underneath his arm <br>

And a coat of solid gold, <br>

Searching for the very souls <br>

Whom already have been sold. <br>

<br>

"Arise, arise," he cried so loud, <br>

In a voice without restraint, <br>

"Come out, ye gifted kings and queens <br>

And hear my sad complaint. <br>

No martyr is among ye now <br>

Whom you can call your own, <br>

So go on your way accordingly <br>

But know you're not alone." <br>

<br>

I dreamed I saw St. Augustine, <br>

Alive with fiery breath, <br>

And I dreamed I was amongst the ones <br>

That put him out to death. <br>

Oh, I awoke in anger, <br>

So alone and terrified, <br>

I put my fingers against the glass <br>

And bowed my head and cried.<br>

<br>
