Resurrection

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Somethin' heavy coming down like Easter in the air And he woke up Sunday morning with some flowers in his hair Looking like the face of Jesus in his final agony That they found on that old winding sheet way down in L.A [Chorus] He was gone He was gone when they rolled away the stone [Verse 2] Something came a-shining in that smoky little room Shining like a thousand candles in a Middle Eastern tomb An angel lay on the mattress and speaking of history and death With perfume on her lingerie and whiskey on her breath [Chorus] He was gone He was gone when they rolled away the stone [Verse 3] And they found him in the desert picking flowers for the muse Sometimes he's the fire, sometimes he's the fuse He's loadin' up his saddlebags out on the edge of wonder One's filled with music and the other's filled with thunder [Chorus] He was gone He was gone when they rolled away the stone [Verse 4] Well, I never thought to ask but the thought seemed mighty slim If he believed in God or if God believed in him But they both believed in a woman, and the truth it set him free And now he wonders in confusion, he's lost his poetry [Chorus] He was gone He was gone when they rolled away the stone
