Dead Man Walkin' lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

(from "Dead Man Walking" soundtrack)

There's a pale horse comin'

I'm gonna ride it

I'll rise in the morning

My fate decided

I'm a dead man walkin'

I'm a dead man walkin'

In St. James Parish

I was born and christened

Now I've got my story

Mister no need for you to listen

It's just a dead man talkin'

Once, I had a job, I had a girl

But between our dreams and actions

Lies this world

In the deep forest

Their blood and tears rushed over me

All I could feel was the drugs and the shotgun

And my fear up inside of me

Like a dead man talkin'

'Neath a summer sky my eyes went black

Sister, I won't ask for forgiveness

My sins are all I have

Now the clouds above my prison

Move slowly across the sky

There's a new day dawnin'

And my dreams are full tonight
