In the 25th Hour I George Wallace & Electronic Friends

Описание: IN THE 25TH HOUR (4:27)
will you still be here in the 25th hour
when snow pipers are sleeping
and the marigolds of summer
have forgotten the sun
when tins of camomile
and dutch chocolate
and rough cut tobacco
are empty, when barbary seals
set out to open seas, will you
still be here, and your dreams emptying out
and the prison yard with its raucous laughter
and the lark and the column of light
which it climbs to heaven
shackles and manacles
shackles and manacles
life is long love is unforgiving
one man's lungs fill up with hate
one man's heart give up its beating
one man's eyes go blind with work
one man becomes indifferent to surprise
and love turns up begging at your door
but in the 25th hour we will forget all that
in the 25th hour, the armories shuttered
the 25th hour, soldiers hung up their boots
25th hour, mental chains and blinders broke
and jails filled up with broken men emptied
and skyscrapers of ambition all fall down
and the men who jail each other's hearts stand down
and we al listen, we all listen to the new earth springing
to children and lovers and grandparents and neighbors
and we will begin again, where we left off
in the 25th hour, in the 25th hour
when we knew each other
the way no one else
has ever known
each other
and sing the old song
very loud, freedom
yes, in the 25th hour
when snow pipers are sleeping
and the marigolds of summer
have forgotten the sun
we begin again
where we left off
when we knew each other
the way no one else
has ever known
each other
