Original lyrics
ENI woke up this morning
Picked my pride off of the floor
Poured some cream into my coffee
Took the lock off of the door
And all the dreams i thought were real
Had faded with the night
And as i thought, i wondered
Who turned on the light
A long ride home, a long ride home
It looks like it’s gonna be a long ride home
Then i thought about sweet jesus
When he tried to lend a hand
But they cut it off despite him
And they drove him through the land
And a young man took a ripping whip
They nailed him to a stake
Then they gave the giver lessons
And all that he could take
Will i ever find again
The love that once was there
Will i ever leave behind this sorrow and despair
In my life, in my time have i tried to hurt
Have all the children’s voices
Vanished from the earth
