[00:27.60]Locked in a struggle for the right combination
[00:35.16]Of words in a melody line,
[00:41.07]I took a walk along the riverbank of my imagination.
[00:48.66]Golden clouds were shuffling the sunshine.
[00:55.75]But if I ever get back to the twentieth century,
[00:59.97]Guess I'll have to pay off some debts.
[01:03.12]Open the book of my vanishing memory,
[01:07.11]With its catalogue of regrets.
[01:10.31]Stand up for the deeds
[01:12.91]I did, and those
[01:14.87]I didn't do.
[01:17.41]Sit down, shut up, think about
[01:20.39]God,And wait for the hour of my rescue.
[01:42.18]We don't mean to mess things up,
[01:46.01]But mess them up we do.
[01:47.55]And then it's "Oh, I'm sorry."
[01:56.09]Here's a smiling photograph
[01:58.99]Of love when it was new.
[02:02.16]At a birthday party.
[02:09.98]Make a wish and close your eyes:
[02:15.32]Surprise, surprise, surprise.
[02:29.06]Early December, and brown as a sparrow,
[02:35.19]Frost creeping over the pond.
[02:41.35]I shoot a thought into the future,
[02:45.62]And it flies like an arrow, through my liftime.
[02:52.28]And beyond.
[02:56.35]If I ever come back as a tree, or a crow,
[03:00.29]Or even the wind-blown dust;
[03:03.05]Find me on the ancient road
[03:06.91]In the song when the wires are hushed.
[03:09.96]Hurry on and remember me,
[03:13.85]As I'll remember you.
[03:17.54]Far above the golden clouds,
[03:20.97]The darkness vibrates.
[03:27.25]The earth is blue.
[03:30.46]And everything about it is a love song.
[03:34.72]Everything about it.
[03:38.21]Everything about it is a love song.
[03:41.82]Everything about it.
[03:45.36]Everything about it is a love song.
