All This Time - Studio 99 (99工作室)[00:00:00]
I looked out across[00:00:15]
The river today[00:00:19]
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower[00:00:23]
Where the seagulls play[00:00:26]
I saw the sad shire horses walking home[00:00:31]
In the sodium light[00:00:35]
I saw two priests on the ferry[00:00:38]
October geese on a cold winter's night[00:00:40]
And all this time the river flowed[00:00:46]
Endlessly to the sea[00:00:54]
If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river[00:01:00]
And I'd bury the old man [00:01:09]
I'd bury him at sea[00:01:12]
Blessed are the poor for they shall inherit the earth[00:01:16]
Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle[00:01:24]
And as these words were spoken I swear[00:01:32]
I hear the old man laughing[00:01:34]
'What good is a used up world and how could it be[00:01:39]
Worth having'[00:01:42]
And all this time the river flowed[00:01:46]
Endlessly like a silent tear[00:01:55]
And all this time the river flowed[00:02:01]
Father if Jesus exists [00:02:09]
Then how come he never lived here[00:02:11]
The teachers told us the Romans built this place[00:02:28]
They built a wall and a temple an edge of the empire[00:02:35]
Garrison town [00:02:39]
They lived and they died they prayed to their gods[00:02:42]
But the stone gods did not make a sound[00:02:46]
And their empire crumbled 'til all that was left[00:02:50]
Were the stones the workmen found[00:02:53]
And all this time the river flowed[00:02:58]
In the falling light of a northern sun[00:03:06]
If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river[00:03:13]
Men go crazy in congregations[00:03:20]
But they only get one by one[00:03:23]
One by one[00:03:30]
