The Calling Lyrics - Join The Parade - Marc Cohn

Johnny took the 4:05 and he rode it 

Rode it down the line 

He did not know that the ghost of Charlie Christian 

Was riding too 

That's when he got the feeling 

Felt his soul and spirit rise 

Closed his eyes and saw a vision 

And he was sanctified 

He said, 

"I have heard a calling 

I have heard a calling 

I have heard it in the night 

And I stood under the light of the calling." 

Somebody brushed him on the shoulder 

He felt a chill run right down his spine 

He did not know that the ghost of Charlie Christian 

was riding too 

(riding too) 

But that's when he got the feeling 

[With?] the music coming up from the back 

Heard the sound of fingers on steel 

And a wheel upon a track 

(Chorus) 

He said, 

"I have heard a calling 

I can heard a calling 

Like a priest or a missionary 

I am only following the calling." 

Following the calling....
