The Great Electric Experiment Is Over

I can see the grass is growing on the streets I knew And through the trees I can see the sun is shining on the sea And the ruins of the city are in flower now For the great electric experiment is over Over now Dusty grey is changing into golden now Beneath the rain That came last night like dew upon the ground And the ruins of the city rain with bird sweet song For the great electric experiment is over Over now And far along the shore a woman stands beside a man In her heart she hides no questions for the dawn For the answers flow between them as she gently holds his hand And the sky shudders sweetly and the day is born The ticking of the clocks has turned to silence now Beneath the sun That softly draws the flowers from the ground And the crying of the child is also laughter now For the great electric experiment is over Over now And far along the shore a woman walks beside a man In her eyes she hides no questions for the sky For the answers flow between them as he gently holds her hand And the ocean thunders proudly and the sea birds cry I can see the grass is growing on the streets I knew And through the trees I can see the sun is shining on the sea And the ruins of the city are in flower now For the great electric experiment is over Over now
