Visionary Heart

I saw the future, I followed heaven's light

I heard the angels laugh and cheer at our six-string firefight

I saw the weather changing with February will

I dreamed of peace and love on Earth and the world turned white and still

But for all these dreams and visions through the rich and the star

Still I cannot decipher my visionary heart

You and me, my brother, in these guitars we trust

Our dreams may not mean much to the world but they mean the world to us

They'll take it to the children on a road dark cold and long

You'll sing us all to sleep each night with an old Hank Williams song

But for all these dreams and visions through the rich and the star

Still I cannot decipher my visionary heart

I dreamed the girl I'd marry and the family we'd raise

In the mountains of New York City precious would be those days

But what my heart could not foresee though these things they would come true

My time remaining would be brief, I'd give these dreams to you

Carry on, my brother, carry on

Carry on, carry on

Carry on, my brother, carry on

Carry on, carry on

Still I cannot decipher my visionary heart

But for all these dreams and visions through the rich and the star

I couldn't read between the lines of my visionary heart

Of my visionary heart
