Dachau

[Verse 1]
Only a stone's throw
That close to knowing
Over the stone wall
That close to the town
That place you can't go
So hard to travel
I picked up a small stone
Could not put it down

[Verse 2]
Take all of my money
Take all of my clothing
Take all of my labor
I still do not know
I still cannot feel it
Or make it a real thing
How one to another
Could ever be so

[Bridge]
And I'm not a tailor
And I'm not a gypsy
Nor a professor
With my name on my face
A freedom fighter
A left wing conspirer
Who traveled the boxcars
To this lonely place

[Verse 3]
I'm just a tourist
I take a memento
Or maybe a relic
Though only a stone
Like East Europeans
Posing for photos
In front of the ovens
A video show

[Bridge]
I wanted to feel it
That final solution
I want it to touch me
To take me inside
I want it to hold me
I want it to scold me
Make me part of the blame
Why so many died

[Verse 4]
But only foundations
Are left of the stone walls
Almost at closing
With time running out
I walked in the cold rain
Clutching a cold stone
The gate was still open
For us to walk out
