Keep Us in Song

歌詞

The times as they change are here to remind That nothing has changed -not even time; I've loved you forever, it hasn't been long - just enough now To keep me in song We howl from the window hungry with need And pity the hearts Where we've all come to feed; a bitter last supper, The cup passed along - one for the road That keeps us in song I've stood at the water Where this land has run out Of any idea What we might be about. We're asked to make do With what we know to be wrong - what leads us astray But keeps us in song... The churches, the nurses, the company store, Have joined and concluded there will be no more - no credit on mercy, No forgiveness here on, for any not willing To keep us in song It's grey and it's colder Than it was yesterday When hope was eternal, -A blooming array; With one more good rain all these leaves will be gone, their falling designed To keep us in song... Last night I lay thinking I'd dropped the last thread that stitched every dream to the top of my head; they'll all fly and leave me but I'll get along With yours here beside me to keep me us song
