"Testimony"

Testimony- Robbie Robertson

Look over yonder,

Apollo at a distance

You can hear his music

if you listen to the wind

I want to be there -

I want to be right there

I want to see it

with my own eyes

 

Bear witness,

I'm wailing like the wind

Come bear witness,

the half-breed rides again

In these hands,

I've held the broken dream

In my soul,

I'm howling at the moon

 

Testimony, testimony

Declare yourself - I will testify

Testimony, testimony

Speak the truth, I will testify

 

I had a revelation

like runaway horses

Took to the road

with a carnival show

Those golden days

on Smokey Mountain

Playing guitar

in a one man band

 

Bear witness,

I'm howling at the moon

Come bear witness,

I've danced among the ruins

In these shoes,

I've walked a crooked mile

All my life

I been searching for the nightbird

 

Testimony, testimony

Declare yourself - I will testify

Testimony, testimony

Speak the truth, I will testify

 

Are you ready to take the heat

Are you ready to blow the steam

Are you ready to bag the street

You got nothing to lose - but your chains

 

For forty days

and forty nights

I come across the desert

Apollo right by my side

 

Bear witness,

I'm wailing like the wind

Come bear witness,

the half-breed rides again

In these hands,

I've held the broken dream

In my soul,

I'm howling at the moon
