Walking Far From Home

Iron & Wine

Transposer:

Walking Far From Home - Iron and Wine I was walking far from home Where the names were not burned along the wall. Saw a building high as heaven But the door was so small door was so small. I saw rain clouds little babies And a bridge that had tumbled to the ground I saw sinners making music And I dreamt of that sound dreamt of that sound I was walking far from home But I carried your letters all the while I saw lovers in a window Whisper "want me like time want me like time" I saw sickness bloom in fruit trees I saw blood and a bit of it was mine I saw children in a river But their lips were still dry lips were still dry I was walking far from home And I found your face mingled in the crowd Saw a boat full of believers Sail off talking too loud talking too loud I saw sunlight on the water Saw a bird fall like a hammer from the sky An old woman on the speed train She was closing her eyes closing her eyes I saw flowers on a hillside Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com And a millionaire pissing on the lawn Saw a prisoner take a pistol And say "join me in song join me song" Saw a car crash in the country Where the prayers run like weeds along the road I saw strangers stealing kisses Leaving only their clothes only their clothes Saw a white dog chase its tail And a pair of hearts carved into a stone I saw kindness and an angel Crying take me back home take me back home Saw a highway saw an ocean I saw widows in the temple to the Lord Naked dancers in the city How they spoke for us all spoke for us all I saw loaded linen tables And a motherless colt then it was gone I saw hungry brothers waiting With the radio on radio on I was walking far from home Where the names were not burned along the wall Saw a wet road form a circle And it came like a call came like a call from the Lord

La chanson évoque un voyage intérieur, où le narrateur s'éloigne de chez lui tout en transportant des souvenirs précieux, comme des lettres d'amour. Au fil de son chemin, il observe des scènes de la vie humaine, entre joie et tristesse : des amoureux, des enfants, des souffrances, des larmes et des rires. Ces images reflètent la complexité des relations humaines et la quête d'un sens, d'une connexion à quelque chose de plus grand, souvent ressentie comme une recherche spirituelle. Le contexte peut être celui d'une errance, mais aussi d'une quête de soi, où chaque rencontre, chaque regard croisé devient une étape révélatrice. Ce voyage est ponctué de moments de beauté et de dure réalité, illustrant les contrastes de l'existence. Le narrateur semble chercher réconfort et compréhension dans un monde qui peut parfois sembler chaotique, comme un appel vers le retour à une forme de maison, qu'elle soit physique ou spirituelle.
