Yes, ’n’ how many seas must a white dove sail
 Before she sleeps in the sand?
 Yes, ’n’ how many times must the cannonballs fly
 Before they’re forever banned?

 It’s been such a long, long time
 Since we loved each other and our hearts were true
 One time, for one brief day
 I was the man for you

 If you find it in Your heart, can I be forgiven?
 Guess I owe You some kind of apology
 I’ve escaped death so many times, I know I’m only living
 By the saving grace that’s over me

 You don’t know me darlin’ - you never would guess
 I’m nothing like my ghostly appearance would suggest
 I ain’t no false prophet - I just said what I said
 I’m here to bring vengeance on somebody’s head

 I been in a brawl
 Now I’m feeling the wall
 I’m going away baby
 I won’t be back ’til fall
 High on the hill
 You can carry all my thoughts with you
 You’ve numbed my will
 This love could tear me in two

 Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
 Suicide remarks are torn
 From the fool’s gold mouthpiece the hollow horn
 Plays wasted words, proves to warn
 That he not busy being born is busy dying

 Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
 Who did you meet, my darling young one?
 I met a young child beside a dead pony
 I met a white man who walked a black dog
