How many miles to Babylon?
Oh they say 3 score and 10
Can I get there by candlelight?
Yes they say and back again
I saw a man wrapped in the dark
Hoping nobody'd see his skin
He asked if I had any change
41 miles to Babylon
I saw a woman standing with
A bag of water in the new moon
And her hands tied with an old rope
21 miles to Babylon
I saw a kid, oh black and blue
And writing down a mixed up song
About an airplane that was lost
1 more mile to Babylon
By the waters
By the waters of Babylon
There we sat down and wept
When we remembered Zion
