Gone Like Rain

With downcast eyes the multitudes setas the cattle cars pulled along the rusty tracksone raised his hand in the fading lightsaid excuse me sir this doesn't seem rightand now he's gone like whispers gone like raingone like the faithful while the faithless remaingone like the stone the builder refusedgone and overdue
There's a river in
Texas with a strong undertowno one crosses it to freedom, no one pans for goldits waters are clear but its waters are coldits current is swift and no one knows where it goesit's just gone like whispers gone like raingone like the faithful while the faithless remaingone like the stone the builder refusedgone and overduegone and overdue[harmonica solo]
When a cool desert don't appear on no mapcoyote's scream rips the night in halfhe hears the devil comingfootsteps on the pathso he chews off his own leg to get out of the trapand he's gone like whispers gone like raingone like the faithful while the faithless remaingone like the stone the builder refusedgone and overduegone and overdue
