Save My Soul Again

I don't do the dreaming --
The dreams happen to me
I make my pilgrimage 
And wait for visions to see

There's silver and there's gold
There's bitter and there's sweet
The greatest story ever told
Was right beneath our feet

Come, love --
Save my soul again
Come back, love
And save my soul again

Now, Saint George took that dragon 
He brought it to its knees
The city is rejoicing 
'cause there's no more disease

Come in, baby --
Save our souls again
Come on, children &
Save our souls again

The brick becomes the mortar
The staff becomes the snake
The labor is its worker 
The gardener one with his rake
