Sir, I am a pilgrim and a stranger in this land

Once I had a home here and my salvation was at hand

I lived in a house of gold, yeah, on a far hillside

I had two beautiful children and a kind and loving wife

Can you live with an unsatisfied heart?

One day, a man came to town with nothing and nowhere to go

He came to me and he mentioned somethin' I had done a long time ago

I allowed him into my home on his vow our secret'd never see the light

At night, I'd lay awake in my wife's arms, she'd sigh, "Joe, you alright?"

Can you live with an unsatisfied heart?

The life I had built so carefully, it fell before my sin

My home became my prison, my truth hidden deep within

One night I woke up and as my wife did sleep

I got dressed in the darkness and I fled into the street

Can you live with an unsatisfied heart?

And night after night, the same dream keeps comin' 'round

I'm standing high in the green hills on the outskirts of town

The night air fills my lungs, the wind rustles my shirt

I can see the house where we lived, the building where I used to work

As I draw near, the town's on fire, lit by a red summer moon

Still feel your arms around me, I wake up in this room

Can you live with an unsatisfied heart?

Unsatisfied Heart
