| The passage of time
|
| Is flicking dimly up on the screen
|
| I cant see the lines
|
| I used to think I could read between
|
| Perhaps my brains have turned to san
|
| Oh me oh my I think its been an eternity
|
| Youd be surprised
|
| At my degree of uncertainty
|
| How can moments go so slow.
|
| Several times
|
| Ive seen the evening slide away
|
| Watching the signs
|
| Taking over from the fading day
|
| Perhaps my brains are old and scrambled.
|
| Several times
|
| Ive seen the evening slide away
|
| Watching the signs
|
| Taking over from the fading day
|
| Changing water into wine.
|
| Several times
|
| Ive seen the evening slide away
|
| Watching the signs
|
| Taking over from the fading day
|
| Putting the grapes back on the vine.
|
| (simultaneously with the last two verses, another voice sings another melody
|
| with different words, as follows:)
|
| Who would believe what a poor set of eyes can show you
|
| Who would believe what an innocent voice could do Never a silence always a face at the door.
|
| Who would believe what a poor set of ears can tell you
|
| Who would believe what a weak pair of hands can do Never a silence always a foot in the door. |
