All This Time

In the style of

Sting

Lyrics

i looked out across
the river today

saw a city in the fog
and a old
church tower
where the
seagulls play

saw the sad
shire horses
walkin' home
in the sodium light

two priests
on the ferry
october geese
on a cold
winter's night

all this time
the river flowed
endlessly
to the sea

two priests
came 'round
our house tonight
one young one old
to offer prayers
for the dyin'
to serve the final rite

one to learn
one to teach
which way
the cold wind blows

and fussin'
and flappin'
in priestly black
like a murder
of crows

all this time
the river flowed
endlessly
to the sea

if i had my way
take a boat
from the river
and i'd bury
the old man
i'd bury him at sea

blessed are the poor
for they shall
inherit the earth
better to be poor
than be a fat man
in the eye of a needle

as these words
were spoken i swear
i hear the old man
laughin'

what good is
a used up world
and how could it be
worth havin'

all this time
the river flowed
endlessly
like a silent tear

all this time
the river flowed
father
if jesus exists
then how come
he never lives here

ee yeah
ee yeah yeah yeah
ee yeah
ee yeah yeah yeah
ee yeah
ee yeah yeah yeah

teachers told us
the romans
built this place
they built a wall
and a temple and a
edge-of-the-empire
garrison town

they lived
and they died
they prayed
to their gods
but the stone gods
did not make a sound

and their empire
crumbled till
all that was left
were the stones
the workmen found

all this time
the river flowed
in the falling light
of a northern sun

if i had my way
take a boat
from the river
men go crazy
in congregations
they only get better
one by one

one by one
one by one by one
one by one
i looked out across
the river today

i saw a city in the fog
and a old
church tower
where the
seagulls play

i saw the sad
shire horses
walkin' home
in the sodium light

two priests
on the ferry
october geese
on a cold
winter's night
