the mountain goats - new zion lyrics
[verse 1]
there were signs up in the sky
when we gathered by the garden wall
everybody on his best behavior
listening for the altar call
[verse 2]
high priest of salem in his robes
ranting at the coming of the day
ravens at the gates
frightening all the visitors away
[chorus]
i laid down by the water
dreamed a dream of where i come from
old things made new
waiting for you
[verse 3]
there were wooden wind chimes rustling
in the trees above the anthills on the dunes
on the high winds we could hear them
old familiar tunes
[verse 4]
the little bit of faith we had once
like the memory of a movie
they got burned up in the great fire
re-ssembling itself slowly but surely
[chorus]
i laid down by the water
dreamed a dream of where i come from
old things made new
waiting for you
