Artist/Band: Mary Chapin Carpenter
Lyrics for Song: Dead Man Walking
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Mary Chapin Carpenter



You never had a dream like this

Never felt the cold cold steel

Slam you like a fist

Break you down until you kneel

Just like a beggar man

Asking only for redemption

All the things that can't

Make a man believe in heaven



Fix your eyes upon the bars

Memorize their other side

Like the tatoos on your arms

The brag so loud and tough that night

But now the truth comes out

Fast as feel can do your talking

It sets you free as one guard shouts

Dead man walking



When neither light nor darkness

When neither night or day

When neither kind nor heartless

When neither lost or saved



When neither still or moved

When neither held or free

Oh to be so human



Dead man walking



When neither light nor darkness

When neither night or day

When neither kind nor heartless

When neither lost or saved

When neither still or moved

When neither held or free

Oh to be so human

Oh to be



Somewhere in a dream like this where

Light of love leads us home

Broken worlds will not be fixed

if vengeance take us as thy own

We're just like beggars now

On our knees we hear our names

God forgives somehow

We have yet to learn to save
