All This Time (Live)

歌词

• All This Time - Sting (史汀)
• I looked out across
• The river today
• I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
• Where the seagulls play
• I saw the sad shire horses walking home
• In the sodium light
• Two priests on the ferry
• October geese on a cold winter's night
• And 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 dying
• To serve the final rite
• One to learn one to teach
• Which was the cold wind blows
• Fussing and flapping in priestly black
• Like a murder of crows
• And all this time the river flowed
• Endlessly to the sea
• If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
• 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 a fat man
• In the eye of a needle
• And as these words were spoken I swore
• I hear The old man laughing
• 'What good is a used up world and how could it be
• Worth having'
• And all this time the river flowed
• Endlessly like a silent tear
• And all this time the river flowed
• Father if Jesus exists
• Then how come he never lived here
• The teachers told us
• The Romans built this place
• They built a wall and a temple
• An 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 'til all that was left
• Were the stones the workmen found
• And all this time the river flowed
• In the falling light of a northern sun
• If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
• Men go crazy in congregations
• But they only get better
• One by one
• One by one
• One by one
• One by one
• (I looked out across)
• The river today
• I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
• Where the seagulls play
• I saw the sad shire horses walking home
