Omaha

Start tearing the old man down

Run past the heather and down to the old road

Start turning the grain into the ground roll a new leaf over

In the middle of the night,

There's an old man treading around in the gathered rain

Well mister, if you're gonna walk on water, oh,

Could you drop a line my way?

Omaha somewhere in middle america

Get right to the heart of matters

It's the heart that matters more

I think you better turn your ticket in

And get your money back at the door

Start threading a needle

Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room

Start turning the wool across the wire roll a new life over

In the middle of the night,

There's an old man threading his toes through a bucket of rain

Hey mister, if you don't wanna walk on water

'Cos if you're only don't wanna walk all over me

Omaha somewhere in middle america

Get right to the heart of the matters

It's the heart that matters more

I think you better turn your ticket in

And get your money back at the door

Start running the banner down

Drop past the color come up through the summer rain

Start turning the girl into the ground roll a new love over

In the middle of the day,

There's a young man rolling around in the earth and rain

Hey mister, if you're gonna walk on water

You know you're only gonna walk all over me.

Omaha somewhere in middle america

Get right to the heart of matters

It's the heart that matters more

I think you better turn your ticket in

And get your money back at the door

Oh, so it's on the heart, sunday morning... I come home today
