Lone Pilgrim
World Gone Wrong
1993
Columbia
Paroles
1. I came to the place where the lone pilgrim lay,
And patiently stood by his tomb,
When in a low whisper I heard something say:
How sweetly I sleep here alone.
2. The tempest may howl and the loud thunder roar
And gathering storms may arise,
But calm is my feeling, at rest is my soul,
The tears are all wiped from my eyes.
3. The call of my master compelled me from home,
No kindred or relative nigh.
I met the contagion and sank to the tomb,
My soul flew to mansions on high.
4. Go tell my companion and children most dear
To weep not for me now I'm gone.
The same hand that led me through seas most severe
Has kindly assisted me home.
Interprétation
Hymne funèbre traditionnel, en clôture recueillie du disque. La chanson, sur un pèlerin solitaire enterré au bord de la route, est un chant de mort et de paix.
Cette fin en oraison referme World Gone Wrong sur une note de recueillement. Elle annonce, par sa gravité, le grand retour de Time Out of Mind, quatre ans plus tard.
