Last Time I Saw Eden

by Randy Stonehill

on Spirit Walk (2011)

The last time I saw Eden
The garden was in flames
The smoke was rising up to heaven's floor

The last time I saw Eden
The gates were bound with chains
The angel cried, "You'll enter here no more"

And I just can't get it out of my mind
That vision still sends chills up my spine
Like a ghost that I can never leave behind
The last time I saw Eden

The last time I saw Eden
I was waiting to be born
Floating in a sea of purest light

When I heard the thunder
There was dust upon my lips
My flesh was stinging with the chill of night

And they tell me it was all a crazy dream
But in my heart, I don't know what they mean
I can't forget how very real it seemed
The last time I saw Eden

The last time I saw Eden
I was standing in the rain
Down a lonesome, broken railroad track

I met a fallen angel
Waiting for a northbound train
He said, "I fear it's never coming back"

And now even in these crowds, I feel alone
An orphan always aching for home
I'm longing for the mystery I have known
The last time I saw Eden
