Lyrics Robbie Robertson

Robbie Robertson

Testimony

Look over yonder, Apollo at a distance

You can hear his music if you listen to the wind (blow)

I want to be there, I want to be right there

Bear witness, I'm wailing like the wind

Come bear witness, the half-breed rides again

In these hands, I've held the broken dream

In my soul, I'm howling at the moon

Testimony, testimony

Declare yourself, I will testify

Testimony, testimony

Speak the truth, I will testify

I had a revelation like runaway horses

Took to the road with a carnival show (roll on)

Those golden days on Smokey Mountain

Playing guitar in a one man band

Bear witness, I'm howling at the moon

Come bear witness, I've danced among the ruins

In these shoes, I've walked a crooked mile

All my life I been searching for the nightbird

Testimony, testimony

Declare yourself, I will testify

Testimony, testimony

Speak the truth, I will testify

Are you ready to take the heat

Are you ready to blow the steam

Are you ready to bag the street

You got nothing to lose, but your chains

For forty days and forty nights

I come across the desert

Apollo right by my side (rave on)

Bear witness, I'm wailing like the wind

Come bear witness, the half-breed rides again

In these hands, I've held the broken dream

In my soul, I'm howling at the moon

Testimony, testimony

Declare yourself, I will testify

Testimony, testimony

Speak the truth, I will testify
