| [00:18.41] |
Here at the glass |
| [00:25.35] |
All the usual problems, all the habitual farce. |
| [00:34.65] |
You ask, in uncertain voice, |
| [00:42.63] |
What you should do, |
| [00:46.40] |
As if there were a choice but to carry on |
| [00:55.10] |
Miming the song |
| [00:58.85] |
And hope that it all works out right. |
| [01:03.84] |
Tonight it all seems so strange |
| [01:11.45] |
My spirit feels rigid, my body deranged; |
| [01:19.80] |
Still that's only from one point of view |
| [01:27.25] |
And we can't have illusion between me and you, |
| [01:35.86] |
My constant friend, ever close at hand |
| [01:43.23] |
You and the undercover man. |
| [01:59.80] |
I reflect: |
| [02:03.56] |
'It's very strange to be going through this change |
| [02:11.10] |
With no idea of what it's all been about |
| [02:15.57] |
Except in the context of time.. |
| [02:17.95] |
Oh, but I shirk it, I've half a mind not to work it all out. |
| [02:31.66] |
Is this madness just the recurring wave of total emotion, |
| [02:39.52] |
Or a hide for the undercover man, |
| [02:47.37] |
Or a litany - all the signs are there of fervent devotion |
| [02:55.27] |
Or the cracking of the dam? |
| [03:11.06] |
It's cracked; smashed and bursting over you, |
| [03:16.41] |
There was no reason to expect such disaster. |
| [03:22.01] |
Now, panicking, you burst for air, |
| [03:24.83] |
Drowning, you know you care |
| [03:26.89] |
For nothing and no-one but yourself |
| [03:30.39] |
And would deny even this hand |
| [03:34.29] |
Which stretches out towards you to help. |
| [03:42.91] |
But would I leave you in this moment of your trial? |
| [03:51.03] |
Is it my fault that I'm here to see you crying? |
| [03:59.16] |
These phantom figures all around you should have told you, |
| [04:05.05] |
You should have found out by now, |
| [04:08.98] |
If you hadn't gone and tried to do it all by yourself. |
| [05:08.45] |
Even now we are not lost: |
| [05:15.61] |
If you look out at the night |
| [05:19.14] |
You'll see the colours and the lights |
| [05:22.92] |
Seem to say people are not far away, |
| [05:25.69] |
At least in distance, |
| [05:28.07] |
And it's only our own dumb resistance |
| [05:31.05] |
That's making us stay. |
| [05:39.18] |
When the madness comes |
| [05:41.73] |
Let it flood on down and over me sweetly, |
| [05:47.03] |
Let it drown the parts of me weak and blessed and damned, |
| [05:54.55] |
Let it slake my life, let it take my soul and living completely, |
| [06:02.55] |
Let it be who I am. |
| [06:08.68] |
There may not be time for us all to run in tandem together |
| [06:16.70] |
The horizon calls with its parallel lines. |
| [06:24.37] |
It may not be right for you to have and hold in one way forever |
| [06:32.46] |
And yet you still have time, |
| [06:40.86] |
You still have time. |
