A decree went out from Caesar. Let the people be numbered. Each in the town of his birth. Let the people obey. A young couple came. To the city of David.
Where's the lady and the time I used to know. I think that I've been on the road too long. Scenes of better days are pictured in my head. And haunting me those old familiar songs.
I feel sorry for the soldier who is shot and stoned in anger. I feel sorry for his wife and child at home. I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonours.
I woke up to a feeling, it was cold by my side. You had gone with the sunrise, leaving tears in my eyes. I got up with a feeling of an emptiness inside.
Super mean machine. Taking over all the kids you've ever seen. Locked into the screen. Jabbing at the buttons like they're in a dream. . Don't want a mega drive.
There's a spirit floating on the water. There's a shadow lying down by the shore. Wasn't he there a year before?. A sacrifice for the coat he's wearing.
Look in my eyes. See the light of the universe. I'm man, born of God. Not a clown in disguise. . My skin is bronze, my hair is gold. The power within me lights the way.
Passing time in the sun. To think of things, lost and done. You wonder why she left so soon. No word or reason why. All feelings born can only die. Lazy days passing by.
As the sounds of the morning. Roll on out of the night. The thoughts of a dreamer. Asking and telling me why. Lady awaken the morning is taking. Your bad dreams away from your eyes.
Two of them watched in the dawn's early light. And two of them died in the morning. Search not your soul if you want to be right. But two of them died in the morning.
I've been looking for a place that I know well. It's a long, long way from here and when I get there. I will tell, I will tell. . I've been looking for a time that I once knew.
So tomorrow, what of tomorrow?. Will the next day find me hiding in my sorrow?. For she's gone now, it won't be long now. Before my heart begins to cry out, I'm alone now.
Calendar, pin-up girl. Blond and bronze, beauty fair. Photographed, cover girl. Unashamed, body bare. . There's no story. She's a country girl at heart.
On the road and I'm feeling low. Got a ticket for my way back home. I start to feel like a rolling stone. Without company. . Down in the bar talking to the trees.
Did we take away the daylight from our life?. Dreams are over, faded with the night. We've been here so long, didn't we see the way?. Love grown cold as ice melted with the rain.
I have seen the streets and alleyways. Of a million faceless towns. The camera comes, the camera goes. Filming our blues for the late night news. We gather round.
She said, "Why don't you come and stay with me. Far away from people we know?. We could live our lives together. Happiness wherever we go". And I will always love her.
See the river deep and wide. Could be free on the other side. Ohh, cross the water. . When the gun and the knife have gone. Who'll be here when tomorrow comes.
Forgive me, child, I am sorry. I can't see your face. Forgive me, child, I am sorry. I can't hear your name. . Take me, take you, lost in other worlds.
We steered our ship to the sea of all tranquility. The only sound our voices as star struck we fly. Our hopes ever high that the songs we sing. And the words we bring should never die.
