CAME DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAINS
CAME DOWN WHERE THE ANCIENT GOLDEN CALF IS FOUND
I BOWED DOWN TO THE GRAVEN IMAGE
I REACHED OUT TOOK A DRINK AND I WAS FINISHED
WITH THIS TOWN
I JUST WANNA WATCH THE TELEVISION
TO GET BACK TO 1987
WHEN HEARTS WERE LIVE
I JUST WANNA
I DON’T WANNA WATCH YOUR TELEVISION
JUST WANNA TOUCH THE GATES OF HEAVEN’
THEY’RE OPEN WIDE, JUST FEEL ALIVE
I WASHED UP IN A MARBLE FOUNTAIN
I STRETCHED OUT, FELL ASLEEP AND DREAMED OF MOUNTAIN TOWNS
I WOKE UP TO THE SOUND OF THUNDER
AN OLD SONG BROKE THE SPELL THAT I WAS UNDER

AND DO I HOPE TO (UNTIL I’VE FALLEN DOWN)
ENDURE THE MOST? YOU SAY WE DON’T KNOW HOW
AND DO I KNOW YOU? AND DO I HEAR NOW?
AND DO I KNOW HOW TO STAY ON THE PATHS OF LOVE?
I NEVER KNOW HOW, I NEVER GO
IT’S NEVER FUN HOW SUNS ALWAYS OUT
AND DO I KNOW YOU? AND DO I GO?
AND DO I HOPE TO STAY ON THE PATHS OF LOVE?
LISTEN TO THE WORDS WRITTEN BY THE THOUSAND
DIDN’T YOU LET THE SUN GO DOWN IN ANGER?
THIS MUST BE THE PLACE WHERE MEMORY IS FOUNDED
I DIDN’T KNOW IT WOULD BE SO FRAUGHT WITH DANGER

I DON’T LOVE IT IN THE DARK
CAN’T FEEL IT ANYMORE
NEVER WALKED SO VERY FAR
OR RAN AWAY
COULDN’T LOVE THEM ANY MORE
DIDN’T FEEL SO VERY SURE
I’M SO TIRED I CAN’T ENDURE
CAN’T FIND A WAY
TURN THE PAGE
I KNOW NOT HOW
TURN THE WHEELS
AND DRIVE IT OUT
NO LONG FACE IN THE MORNING
CAUSE I FEEL LIKE ANYTHING
COULD HAPPEN
FOLLOW THE EVENING STAR
YOU COULD RIDE OUT IN YOUR CAR
MAYBE LAUGHING
MAKE IT HAPPEN
I CAN’T MOVE IT’S SO SEVERE
IT ISN’T FUN, IT’S ONLY FEAR
CRIED A RIVER, SPUN THESE GEARS
DROVE AWAY
COULDN’T LOVE THEM ANY MORE
DIDN’T FEEL SO VERY SURE
I FEEL SO TIRED I CAN’T ENDURE
CAN’T FIND A WAY
TURN THE PAGE
I KNOW NOT HOW
TURN THE WHEELS
AND DRIVE

I HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT WHERE THINGS STARTED
THAT I WANT TO KEEP TO MYSELF LOCKED TIGHT
AND I REALIZED, THIS IS NOT MY STYLE
THE GREED AND ENVY RULING MY MIND
RUINING MY MIND
AND IT FEELS LIKE
I’M GOING UNDER THE KNIFE
AND IT FEELS LIKE
I’M FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE
AND THE GLASS GROWS COLD IN MY EYES
AND IT FEELS LIKE LOST LIFE
I WANT THINGS LIKE AT THE DAWN OF LIFE
WHEN EVERYTHING WAS FINE
NOW IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS NOT MY LIFE
I THINK BACK TO START OF THE WORLD
START OF THE WORLD

I Felt Called

IT FOLLOWS EVERYWHERE I GO
IT COVERS EVERYTHING I GROW
IT TAKES ME ANYWHERE
AND ANYWHERE I GO
BUT I KNOW I’LL BE ALRIGHT
AND I’M NOT, THOUGH I FELT CALLED
IT CROSSES EVERY BRIDGE I KNOW
IT BURIES DEEP WITHIN MY SOUL
IT WANTS TO BE SO LOVELY
SO FREE AND LUCKY OH...
BUT I KNOW I’LL BE ALRIGHT
AND I’M NOT, THOUGH I FELT CALLED
HOW COULD I BE SO LOST IN THE DARK?
HOW COULD I BE SO UNEXCEPTIONAL?
I WANNA BE A SAGE IN A CLOAK, I KNOW I KNOW
HOW COULD I BE SO LOST IN THE DARK?
HOW COULD I BE SO DAMNED CONTEMPTIBLE?
I WANNA PULL THE KNIFE FROM MY HEART, I KNOW I KNOW...
I WANT TO KNOW
BUT I KNOW I’LL BE ALRIGHT
AND I’M NOT, THOUGH I FELT CALLED
BUT I KNOW I’LL SLEEP TONIGHT
AND I THOUGHT I’D SEE SOME LIGHT
BUT I WAS HOPING
TO GOD ALMIGHTY

EARLY IN THE MORNING
IT CAME WITHOUT WARNING
AND I FELT LIKE I WANT TO DIE
BUT I CAN’T REWIND
OUT INTO THE WILDERNESS
DROWNED IN BEWILDERMENT
I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT SURVIVE
BUT IT CAN’T, IT WON'T STOP
BUT IT’S HARD WHEN THE WINTER
COMES DOWN IN THE WONDERLANDS
WE ALWAYS FORGET OUR COATS
BUT I WILL HOLD YOU CLOSE
TO ME
BUT IT’S OUR LIFE
OUR LIFE
PEDAL TO THE METAL
FROM HEAV’N TO THE DEVIL
AND WE SWORE WE’D BE ONE FOR LIFE
AND WE CAN’T, WE WON’T STOP
SAW YOU IN THE MEADOW
YOUR BOW STRUNG AN ARROW
AND YOU SHOT ME STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HEART
AND IT WON’T, BEAT WON’T STOP
AND IT’S OUR LIFE
OUR LIFE
WE’RE SO BUSY
WITH HEARTH AND MARROW
EYES SO BLURRY
I CAN’T SEE HOW
WAIT FOR THE GATHERING
WHERE WE’RE GONNA BE SO
HUDDLED TOGETHER AT NIGHT
CAN WE START
START AGAIN?

Gonna Need A Vacation

YOU’RE GONNA NEED A VACATION BEFORE YOU DIE
DON’T TAKE IT HARD DON’T TAKE THE BLOODSHOT TO THE EYE
YOU’RE GONNA NEED MEDICATION BEFORE YOU FRY
DON’T THINK IT’S GONNA MAKE YOU HAPPY WHATEVER YOU BUY
AND STOP BEING SO EMOTIONAL
START BEING LOCOMOTIONAL
STOP BEING SO EMOTIONAL
START BEING LOCOMOTIONAL
HOW CAN I BEND THE SHADOWS TO THE LIGHT?
HOW CAN I REND THE GALLOWS OF MY MIND?
HOW CAN I SLEEP IF EVERYTHING’S ON FIRE?
HOW CAN I KEEP THE CURRENT IN THE WIRES?
YOU’RE GONNA NEED A VACATION BEFORE YOU DIE
DON’T TAKE IT HARD, DON’T TAKE THE BLOODSHOT TO THE EYE
YOU GOT TOO MUCH EDUCATION, SO BE THE GUY
WHO TAKES THE BOAT OUT ON THE WEEKEND, DRY YOUR EYES

IN THE DESERT OF MY DREAMS
I HOLD ONTO HANDS
AND ALL I SEE CONFOUNDS ME
IN THE DESERT OF MY DREAMS
I WALK ON THE SANDS
AND I ALL I SEE IS NEVERMIND TO ME
IN THE VALLEYS AND RAVINES
I CLIMB THROUGH THESE LANDS
AND EVERY DAY IS THROUGH THE RAIN TO ME
AT THE OCEAN, ON THE SHORE
I SLEEP LIKE A CHILD
AND ALL I KNOW IS MEMORIES OF YORE
DO YOU RUN LONG?
I HAVE RUN LONG
IN THE DESERT OF MY DREAMS
I HOLD ALL THEIR HANDS
AND ALL I HEAR IS VOICES IN MY EAR
IN THE TWILIGHT OF MY DREAMS
I SIT AT THE HEAD
OF TABLE SET WITH FACES, HEART WITH WINGS
DO YOU RUN LONG?
I HAVE RUN LONG

I COULD NEVER BE SAD ENOUGH
GLAD ENOUGH
BROKEN UP ENOUGH
I WAS NEVER SINCERE ENOUGH
SCARED ENOUGH
ASHES INTO DUST
LEAVES FELL DOWN ON MY HEAD
LIKE ALL THOSE YEARS OF FEAR AND REGRET
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
I’VE SAILED ACROSS THE WAKING WORLD
AND I FEEL AS THOUGH
I’LL NEVER FIND THE PEARL
I’LL NEVER SEE THE STARS OF NIGHT
I’VE TAKEN EVERY WINDING ROAD
AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH
I’LL NEVER CEASE TO ROAM
I’LL NEVER SEE THE LIGHTS OF HOME
I COULD NEVER BE HIGH ENOUGH
LOW ENOUGH
RADICAL ENOUGH
I WOULD NEVER SAY PLEASE ENOUGH
THANKS ENOUGH
METAL INTO RUST
RAIN FALLS DOWN ON MY HEAD
LIKE EVERY STUPID WORD THAT I’VE SAID
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

Like It Or Not

MY HEART WAS WILLING TO GO INTO THE PAIN
AND DO YOU KNOW HOW, DO YOU KNOW HOW?
FOUND OUT THE NATURE, THROUGH WIND AND THE RAIN
UNTIL I WASHED OUT, UNTIL YOU WRUNG IT OUT
I WANT TO SEE DAWN FOREVER, IT’S NEVER WHAT I WANT
I WANT TO BE THE PROTECTOR, LIKE IT OR NOT
MY HEAD WAS ACHING REPEATING THE REFRAIN
AND DID YOU KNOW WHY, DID YOU KNOW WHY?
FOUND OUT THE KIDS HAVE ALL GONE HOME
TO BE THEIR OWN SELVES, TO HELP THEIR OWN SELVES

I KNOW THIS PLACE
WITH SOME THOUGHT I REALIZE
I DIE HERE IN DREAMS
LIKE A GHOST AT HOME
WOULD YOU FLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS, OUT ON THE BREEZE?
WOULD YOU TRY HOVERING OVER THE TEMPESTUOUS SEA?
I SAW YOUR FACE
IN MY MIND - CAPITULATE
I WALKED UNDER LEAVES
TALKED MYSELF OUT OF THINGS
WOULD YOU FLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS, OUT ON THE BREEZE?
WOULD YOU TRY HOVERING OVER THE TEMPESTUOUS SEA?
WOULD YOU FLY OVER THE RIVERS, OVER THE SHEAVES?
WOULD YOU FLY INTO THE HILLS, TO DIE DOWN ON YOUR KNEES?

PUT A MILLSTONE ROUND THE NECK
JUST SO EVERYBODY SAYS
“YOU’RE ABOVE THAT”
TAKE A BULLET TO THE VEST
DRINK A GOBLET TO THE DREGS
YOU WON’T LOVE THAT
IT’S THERE BUT YOU CAN’T SEE
THE HEATHER AND THE FALLEN TREES
IT’S THERE BUT YOU DON’T KNOW
IT’S HIDDEN UNDER SHOW
I JUST CAN’T FIND THE STRENGTH TO APOLOGIZE
BETTER NOT BELIEVE THOSE FADING EYES
TAKE A PILLOW FOR YOUR HEAD
TRY TO EASE THE LOOMING DREAD
YOU WILL LOVE THAT
CUT THE FOREST BURN THE TREES
BEG FORGIVENESS ON YOUR KNEES
YOU’RE ABOVE THAT
I JUST CAN’T FIND THE STRENGTH
TO APOLOGIZE
BETTER NOT BELIEVE
THOSE FADING EYES
I JUST CAN’T FIND THE TIME
TO INTERNALIZE
BETTER NOT PERCEIVE
DON’T BRAVE THE NIGHT

supported by 35 fans who also own “I Felt Called”
This album feels like where I am now. Middle aged+, uncertain of the future, wondering if the best is behind me, wondering what the world has become, even wondering why I feel so out of place in my own church I've been going to for almost 20 years. Longing for the past, knowing it's gone, and trying to figure out where to go now that my friends have drifted away and my career and financial security bring me no joy.

This album and the previous "From the Womb..." are my favorite albums by Ronnie ever. They reflect a spiritual and compositional depth that is very profound and refined. And of course he sounds as cool as ever. Inspiring to the core!
