Song For Memory - The Once[00:00:00]
The old men are proud[00:00:10]
Of the songs that they've picked[00:00:14]
Hummin' in time where[00:00:19]
The words come unfixed[00:00:23]
Just five kings left[00:00:27]
Only four can turn tricks[00:00:30]
The tallow is burning a bed for the wicks[00:00:35]
Some get it right while some make mistakes[00:00:43]
Some hear the chorus some only the breaks[00:00:47]
When singing the verse through the sips that he takes[00:00:51]
And some close their eyes as their memories ache[00:00:57]
A full house is five men[00:01:11]
But very few glances[00:01:15]
Shuffle the cards and[00:01:19]
Hand out the chances[00:01:24]
One knight to the queen while the clock still advances[00:01:28]
And pondering time in long empty trances[00:01:36]
Stuck in a town where your reach meets the view[00:01:44]
Where the dreams that you held were both fleeting and few[00:01:48]
They crackle like fire on their way up the floor[00:01:52]
Well each day you're working and weeks and you're due[00:01:57]
And it's row upon row of the people you know[00:02:00]
And it's row upon row of the people you know[00:02:09]
Stand still as a choir that hasn't yet sung[00:02:18]
Stand still as a choir that hasn't yet sung[00:02:22]
No head goes unnodded[00:02:27]
No head goes unhung[00:02:32]
And the time to head home has long ago come[00:02:36]
The current runs high and are filling their lungs[00:02:45]
Song goes around like a back final tongue[00:02:53]
Everytime in the corner[00:03:00]
Its neck left unstrung[00:03:05]
And the girl at the bar is impossibly young[00:03:09]
Smiling bright as the clock strikes a quarter past one[00:03:18]
And it's row upon row of the people you know[00:03:22]
And it's row upon row of the people you know[00:03:30]
And it's row upon row of the people you know[00:03:39]
Stand still as a choir that hasn't yet sung[00:03:48]
Stand still as a choir that hasn't yet sung[00:03:52]
Stand still as a choir that hasn't yet sung[00:03:56]
