| [00:18.42] |
I can tell by the way you're walking, |
| [00:21.86] |
|
| [00:23.20] |
you don't want company |
| [00:26.20] |
|
| [00:27.64] |
I'll let you alone and I'll let you walk on and |
| [00:32.64] |
In your own good time you'll be |
| [00:35.70] |
|
| [00:37.39] |
Back where the sun can find you, |
| [00:40.95] |
|
| [00:41.95] |
under the wise wishing tree |
| [00:45.20] |
|
| [00:45.89] |
And with all of them made well lie |
| [00:49.14] |
under the shade and call it a jubilee |
| [00:53.92] |
|
| [00:55.36] |
And I can tell by the way youre talking, |
| [00:58.73] |
|
| [00:59.98] |
that the past isn't letting you go |
| [01:03.10] |
|
| [01:04.54] |
There's only so long you can take it all on, |
| [01:09.23] |
And then the wrong's gotta be on its own |
| [01:12.42] |
|
| [01:13.54] |
And when youre ready to leave it behind you, |
| [01:18.10] |
Youll look back and all that you'll see |
| [01:21.67] |
|
| [01:22.98] |
Is the wreckage and rust that you left |
| [01:26.23] |
in the dust on your way to the jubilee |
| [01:31.29] |
|
| [01:41.11] |
And I can tell by the way you're listening, |
| [01:44.80] |
|
| [01:45.86] |
That youre still expecting to hear |
| [01:49.24] |
|
| [01:50.67] |
Your name being called like a summons |
| [01:54.05] |
to all who have failed to account |
| [01:56.99] |
For their doubts and their fears, |
| [01:59.43] |
They can't add up to to much without you |
| [02:03.05] |
|
| [02:03.99] |
And so if it were up to me |
| [02:07.40] |
|
| [02:08.16] |
I'd take hold of your hand |
| [02:11.03] |
Saying come hear the band |
| [02:13.47] |
play your song at the jubilee |
| [02:18.16] |
|
| [02:36.16] |
And I can tell by the way you're searching, |
| [02:39.72] |
|
| [02:40.34] |
For something you can't even name |
| [02:44.38] |
|
| [02:45.38] |
That you haven't been able to come to the table, |
| [02:50.50] |
Simply glad that you came |
| [02:53.44] |
|
| [02:54.25] |
When you feel like this try to imagine |
| [02:58.38] |
|
| [02:59.00] |
that were all like frail boats on the sea |
| [03:03.00] |
|
| [03:03.63] |
Just scanning the night for |
| [03:06.06] |
that great guiding light announcing the jubilee |
| [03:12.69] |
|
| [03:13.81] |
And I can tell by the way |
| [03:15.56] |
you're standing with your eyes filling with tears |
| [03:21.09] |
|
| [03:22.15] |
That its habit alone that keeps you turning for home, |
| [03:26.90] |
even though your home is right here |
| [03:30.85] |
|
| [03:31.53] |
Where the people who love you are gathered, |
| [03:35.47] |
|
| [03:36.53] |
under the wise wishing tree |
| [03:39.84] |
|
| [03:40.66] |
May we all be considered |
| [03:43.40] |
then straight on delivered down to the jubilee |
| [03:48.88] |
|
| [03:50.07] |
Because to people who love you are waiting, |
| [03:54.13] |
And they'll wait just as long as need be |
| [03:57.76] |
|
| [04:00.57] |
When we look back and say those were halcyon days |
| [04:05.00] |
Were talking about jubilee |
