ON THE ROAD TO CALVARY by Richie Havens 6th trac on Wishing Well CD
I saw St.Christopher walking downtown on main,
,,
with Black Madonna fingers holding the flame,
I saw an eagle rise,right out of the blue
I heard a car crash,it reminded me of you.
I saw a baby starve in South Africa,
, ,,
too weak to cry,her tears rolled down into straw.
I saw an orphan give a vagabond try,
just at that moment I realized.
,
You carry me across the smiling river,
,,
You lift me up above the raging sea,
You bring me home this love that you deliver,
straight to my back porch
on the road to Calvary.
I seen a rich man with his bracelets of gold.
,,
Four cars and a yacht and a mistress untold.
Somewhere the restless wind blows out to sea,
somewhere there is a place for you and for me.
,
You carry me across the smiling river,
, ,,
you lift me up above the raging sea,
you bring me home this love that you deliver.
Straight to my back porch
on the road to Calvary.
Straight to my back porch
on the road to calvary.
So if you wondering where I was last night,
,,
well, Black Madonna, yea, She gave me the light.
I guess it’s not much more that I have to say,
Just tell St.Christopher we’re all on our way,
tell St.Christopher we’re all on our way.
/
We’re all on our way.
