Lyrics The Pilgrim - Sam Roberts
I'm
a
pilgrim
like
you
I
was
only
passing
through
You'll
never
know
my
name
You'll
never
walk
in
my
shoes
I've
been
no
use
to
my
friends
I've
been
no
use
to
myself
Now
I'm
looking
for
proof
that
I
ain't
someone
else
I
was
too
afraid
to
read
the
newspaper
Working
in
the
basement
of
a
skyscraper
That's
why
I
roll
and
you'll
never
know
my
name
Oh
no
I'm
not
here
to
feel
the
bones
of
some
forgotten
saint
I
know
who
I
am,
and
I
know
who
you
ain't
Spent
fifteen
days
in
solitary
confinement
Digging
a
hole
in
the
wall
There's
no
escape,
they
said
you
need
realignment
Now
you're
praying
for
help
but
they
don't
hear
you
call
I
was
too
afraid
to
read
the
newspaper
Working
in
the
basement
of
a
skyscraper
That's
why
I
roll
and
you'll
never
know
my
name
Oh
no
Destination,
I
don't
care
I
know
I'll
get
there
when
I'm
there
There's
only
one
thing
on
my
mind
I've
got
more
troubles
than
a
diamond's
got
shine
My
shoes
have
kicked
up
dust
from
here
to
somewhere
else
Is
this
wanderlust
Or
running
from
myself?
My
neck
was
in
the
noose,
but
now
I've
been
cut
loose
And
put
out
to
graze
in
delicate
pastures
Now
I'm
waiting
for
someone
to
put
me
to
use
I
hope
it's
clear
as
crystal
That
the
man
with
the
pistol
Is
calling
all
the
shots
these
days
Now
I'll
be
on
my
way,
oh
The
self-fulfilling
prophets
They
been
lining
their
pockets
And
telling
me
that
it's
alright
But
I
just
don't
buy
it
Oh
no
Destination,
I
don't
care
I
know
I'll
get
there
when
I'm
there
There's
only
one
thing
on
my
mind
I've
got
more
troubles
than
a
diamond's
got
shine
Destination,
I
don't
care
I
know
I'll
get
there
when
I'm
there
There's
only
one
thing
on
my
mind
I've
got
more
troubles
than
a
diamond's
got
shine
