1
At night we crossed the border
2
Following a Black robe
3
To the edge of the reservation ton
4
Cataldo Mission
5
Where the saints and all the martyrs
6
Look down on dying converts
7
What makes the water holy she says is that that it's the closest thing to rain
8
I stole a mule from Anthony
9
I helped Anne up upon it
10
And we rode to Coeur d'Alene
11
Through Harrison and Wallace
12
They were blasting out the tunnels
13
Making way for the light of learning
14
When Jesus comes a calling she said he's coming round the mountain on a train
15
It's my home-last night I dreamt that I grew wings
16
I found a place where they could hear me when I sing
17
We floated on to Hanford
18
On a lumber boat up river
19
Past the fisheries and the mill towns like a stretch of future graveyards
20
She was driven to distraction
21
Said I wonder what will happen
22
When they find out they're mistaken
23
The land is too changed to ever change
24
We waded through the marketplace
25
Someone's ship had come in
26
There was silver and begonias
27
Dynamite and cattle
28
There were hearts as big as apples
29
And apples in the shape of Mary's heart
30
I said inside this gilded cage a songbird always looks so plain
31
It's my home-last night I dreamt that I grew wings
32
I found a place where they could hear me when I sing.
33
And so they came with cameras
34
Breaking through the morning mist
35
Press and businessmen-tycoons-Episcopal philanthropists
36
Lost in their appraisal of the body of a woman
37
But all we saw were lowlands
38
Clouds clung to mountains without strings
39
And at last we saw some people
40
And at last we saw some people
41
And at last we saw some people
42
Huddled up against
43
The rain that was descending like railroad spikes and hammers
44
They were headed for the border
45
Walking and then running
46
And then they were gone into the fog but Anne said
47
Underneath their jackets she saw wings
