Songs of Old |
Turn the key in the iron lock |
Of the old oak door |
Lean into its passages |
With all my weight and enter |
Immediately my olfactory senses it’s home |
Paper thin and paraffin |
With a glimmering of gold |
Marble hands are pouring water |
Silver wings delivering the chains? |
Streams of colored light make hallow home |
Mamas singing the songs of old |
Mama’s singing the songs of old |
Singing the rock of ages |
Though the gold is marred by red |
Singing the rock of ages |
Melt it down and make new things |
Singing the rock of ages |
Empires are made this way |
Singing the rock of ages |
Endless hopes and endless fears |
Polish this stone |
The deeper desire |
The fine of the grain |
This time I walk the stairway |
And turn the key in a cellar door |
I want to know why |
All these stories never spoken |
Danced or drawn or sung or written |
How we built this temple song by song |
Mama’s singing the songs of old |
Mama’s singing the songs of old |
Singing the rock of ages |
Though the gold is marred by red |
Singing the rock of ages |
Melt it down and make new things |
Singing the rock of ages |
Empires are made this way |
Singing the rock of ages |
Mama’s singing the songs of old |
Singing the rock of ages |
Though the gold is marred by red |
Singing the rock of ages |
Melt them down and make new things |
Singing the rock of ages |
Empires are made this way |
Singing the rock of ages |
