Songtexte

[Verse 1]
Can you feel the change, it's coming like a stone
The knife that turned our friends to ghosts is still bloody and worn
But oh, oh, oh,  I got special people 'round
Callin' out to take me on their way
[Verse 2]
Now anything for freedom's what they've said for years
Maybe now the years are free, the saying will disappear
'Cause look, can you see the torches being lit
Or is the scene unclear from the boards on which you sit?
[Verse 3]
Oh, oh, oh, now I've got to take a pill
I'd regale you with my symptoms but it just might make you ill
Oh, oh, there's a hammer coming down
Worse is falling than you can deliver
[Verse 4]
With whom will you be in the autumn new?
All the branches shed their leaves just in time to renew
You, my love, can hold a flame through winter to the spring
Maybe, just maybe, we'll steal the creature
[Verse 5]
Come on, it's not dark enough to call it all a day?
See the boat that's still sailing in old magellan's way
The sun is glinting softly on the curves of his beloved
The door, it beckons just a touch unjustly
[Verse 6]
Oh, oh, oh, now I've got to find a pill
I'd regale you with my symptoms but it just might break your will
Oh, can you see a hammer coming down?
Worse is falling than you can deliver
And the sound it makes is clearer than a river
