None of them
Capo 2
Am
At night we crossed the border following a Black robe
Em
To the edge of the reservation to Cataldo Mission
Am
Where the saints and all the martyrs look down on dying converts
Em F Am
What makes the water holy, she says, is that it's the closest thing to rain
Am
I stole a mule from Anthony, I helped Anne up upon it
Em
And we rode to Coeur d'Alene past Harrison and Wallace
Am
They were blasting out the tunnels, making way for the light of learning
Em F C
When Jesus comes a'calling, she said, he's coming 'round the mountain on a train
F C
It's my home, last night I dreamt that I grew wings
G Am
I found a place where they could hear me when I sing
We floated on to Hanford on a lumber boat up river
Past the fisheries and milltowns like a stretch of future graveyards
She was driven to distraction, said, I wonder what will happen
When they find out they're mistaken and the land is too changed to ever change
We waded through the marketplace, someone's ship had come in
There was silver and begonias, dynamite and cattle
There were hearts as big as apples and apples in the shape of Mary's heart
I said, inside this gilded cage a songbird always looks so plain
Chorus
And so they came with cameras, breaking through the morning mist
Press and businessmen, tycoons, Episcopal philanthropists
Lost in their appraisal of the body of a woman
But all we saw were lowlands, clouds clung to mountains without strings
And at last we saw some people, at last we saw some people
And at last we saw some people huddled up against
The rain that was descending like railroad spikes and hammers
They were headed for the border, walking and then running
Then they were gone into the fog but Anne said underneath the jackets she saw wings
