(Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale) 



this traveling on the inside 

can be a harder journey 

escaping from the dark side 

unanswered questions burning 



some parts are hard to look at 

from the other end of a telescope 

beyond where it's too sad 

past to where there is no hope 



returning to the living waters 

mothers and fathers 

sons and daughters 

returning to the living waters 

just a few more miles or so 

while we're talking soul to soul 

now here we go 



there's still some ground to cover 

while rain washes spirits clean 

just starting to discover 

what life is like getting free 



close to the oasis 

where manna from heaven falls 

passing sacred places 

before i could recall
