00:00Bells of yesteryear toll for the innocence of our childhood.
00:19But my childhood has gone, I see it sometimes hiding some dim memory.
00:26Here in the starkness of my manhood, I find I have a broken smile.
00:31Almost a year has passed since it happened.
00:36I remember the day.
00:38There was rain and a city of windows seemed to be crying while I looked out of the naked
00:42laughing buildings of man's civilization.
00:48She came into the room and crowded it with her ways.
00:52I was pushed and crushed.
00:55I was used to that, but on that day it was not with gentleness that I was pushed or crushed.
01:02I smiled.
01:03What are you smiling at? she asked.
01:06I am smiling for you.
01:09Well, don't, she said.
01:11I cannot help but to smile for you.
01:15I will help that, she replied, and hammered her cruel words into my smile.
01:21My smile broke, falling from my face to shatter on the floor.
01:26I went to my knees, picking up the pieces, trying to stick them back on my face.
01:32But all alas, I no longer had a smile.
01:36It was distorted and turned down.
01:39It was then I heard the hymn, and knew I was going to battle against myself.
01:47I heard the sound of it in my heart, felt the burning of it flooding my dry riverbed
01:51cheeks.
01:52I looked through my storming eyes, seeing for the first time the horde.
01:57But no, they'd always been there.
02:01I went out to them and felt the battle all around me.
02:21She still lives somewhere, laughing the way I know she laughs, crying the way I know she
02:37cries.
02:39She once said I was a poet, I was making things greater than they were, yet she made me greater
02:45than I was, the seasons which have now all gone.
03:01Our season has ended, on branches of time, unpicked of a rhyme.
03:13I fall to the ground.
03:19Green leaves of yesterday touch me and turn brown, swept up, forgotten, together raped
03:33by time.
03:36Swimming in the waterfall of her hand, drying myself in the green dress of her eyes.
03:44All gone, seasons gone.
03:49Two black hands on my face, mocking cannot flee out of my fate.
03:57All gone, seasons gone.
04:03Our season has ended, on branches of time, unpicked of a rhyme.
04:15I fall to the ground.
04:21Green leaves of yesterday touch me and turn brown, swept up, forgotten, together raped
04:35by time.
04:38Swimming in the waterfall of her hand, drying myself in the green dress of her eyes.
04:46All gone, seasons gone.
04:51Two black hands touch my face, making mechanically out of my fate.
04:59All gone, seasons gone.
05:03All gone, seasons gone.
05:08All gone, seasons gone.
05:12All gone, seasons gone.
05:16All gone, seasons gone.
05:21Looking back now, she was like a bottle from which I drank my laughter.
05:27Now the empty bottle brings the thirst of sadness.
05:43Time.
05:58Hello, my love.
06:00Still all the pictures of you.
06:05Do you still make love without knowing what it means?
06:13I said, you're getting much older now.
06:18I'm getting much older now.
06:21There's a man who forgives king of thorns, since he died for you.
06:27A man who forgives king of thorns, since he died for you.
06:33One last time.
06:43Yeah.
06:57With your new image as virginity in the storm.
07:04Do you remember the days when you were not so warm?
07:12I said, you're getting much louder now.
07:17I'm so much quieter now.
07:20There's a man who forgives king of thorns, since he died for you.
07:26There's a man who forgives king of thorns, since he died for you.
07:34A man who forgives king of thorns, since he died for you.
07:43Yeah.
07:57There's a man who forgives king of thorns, since he died for you.
08:04There's a man who forgives king of thorns, since he died for you.
08:10A man who forgives king of thorns, since he died for you.
08:16A man who forgives king of thorns, since he died for you.
08:24Yeah.
08:27Yeah.
08:31Yeah.
08:35Yeah.
08:43A man who forgives king of thorns, since he died for you.
08:48A man who forgives king of thorns, since he died for you.
08:54Around me I see the horde, I bring you their stories,
09:11Do not take them, for I am sure you have your own.
09:15Mrs. Browning,
09:42Fine outstanding lady, I made love to her daughter once,
09:51Or was it twice or more?
09:58Who killed Mrs. Browning?
10:03Who killed Jean?
10:10Mrs. Browning,
10:15Fine outstanding lady, I made love to her daughter once,
10:24Or was it twice or more?
10:31Who killed Mrs. Browning?
10:35Who killed Jean?
10:41Mrs. Browning,
10:44Does your husband still love her?
10:54Beloved Mrs. Browning,
10:57And I hope that you're not like your daughter.
11:07Mrs. Browning,
11:10Mrs. Browning,
11:15Fine outstanding lady, I made love to her daughter once,
11:24Or was it twice or more?
11:31Who killed Mrs. Browning?
11:35Who killed Jean?
11:42Mrs. Browning,
11:47Fine outstanding lady.
12:18My love she is like all the trees,
12:21She is like a lonely pine on a windswept hill,
12:24A proud oak unmoved in the storm,
12:28A jacaranda colouring a dull pavement,
12:32A fir tree of Christmas bringing joy,
12:35With her branches of smiles,
12:38Which are withered slowly from green to brown sadness.
12:58I was once a country boy,
13:01To broken habits never I,
13:04Innocent girls I used to know,
13:07Unforgettable was Barclay Duncan's Harriet,
13:12Whose gentle hands,
13:15His father's praised on Sundays.
13:25Country boy with his dreams expired,
13:29By his life on the magazine,
13:32In clear days enough for fifteen cents,
13:35Intoxication of fame,
13:38Now I hang over,
13:40The pictures from home,
13:43Between the lines,
13:46Of his sadness.
14:03Tragic is the end I tell,
14:07Green country boy has turned to sand,
14:11Winds of fame scatter him everywhere,
14:14Fell madly in love and broke himself over a woman.
14:19Winters claimed him,
14:22Clouding his eyes,
14:26Clouding his eyes,
14:29Giftness of his own mother.
14:51Did your father, that sad eyed man, know of the nights you spent?
14:55What did he think when you walked out the door,
14:58To the smiling lips that said have a good time,
15:01Who were whitely afterwards?
15:04And where did you go?
15:14Where were you Sunday morning?
15:26Strange, strange,
15:29Haven't seen myself in ages,
15:33All I see is a stranger,
15:37Through a father's eyes.
15:46Strange, strange,
15:49He hasn't seen you in ages,
15:53All he sees is a stranger,
15:57Through his father's eyes.
16:06Your innocence has left you,
16:10You're finding just to hide,
16:14Each day just growing older,
16:19Beneath those sad, sad eyes.
16:28Strange, strange,
16:31We haven't seen ourselves in ages,
16:35Are you still making wagers,
16:39In this strange, strange world?
16:47Ooooooooooooooo
16:51Ooooooooooooooo

17:16There was a time when the song and the world Needed each other
17:37Now the song is gone And the world can turn no further

17:59Bring back the brightness on me Let it shine on me, let it shine on me
18:08Tomorrow I won't wake And look for the sun that won't be there
18:24I'll watch around here in the dark And will not see the rain over there
18:35Bring back the brightness on me Let it shine on me, let it shine on me
18:46Bring back the brightness on me Let it shine on me, let it shine on me

19:58Bring back the brightness on me Let it shine on me, let it shine on me
20:08Bring back the brightness on me Let it shine on me, let it shine on me
20:24One early morning I saw in God's skies flying objects not of this world.
20:31I saw myself near the end of my life and felt the warmth of yesterday.
21:02Then we were eighty-three, crippled grey and hard.
21:13The sad seagull left my rust a mess, knowing time had passed.
21:31Wither tight.
22:01Do you remember when life creaked free many years ago?
22:17Things were different then.
22:23Ten years after, ten years after you were born.
22:31Do you remember days of vibes many years ago?
22:46We were younger then.
22:51Ten years after, ten years after you were born.
22:58Do you remember all the faces many years ago?
23:14Oh, where have they gone?
23:20Ten years after, ten years after they were born.
23:43Ten years after, ten years after you were born.
24:07Ten years after, ten years after you were born.
24:27Ten years after, ten years after you were born.
24:57Ten years after, ten years after you were born.
25:27Ten years after, ten years after you were born.
25:57Ten years after, ten years after you were born.
26:03I have said somewhere in my crippled writings
26:07that to love somebody is to give expecting no return.
26:11That I know can no longer be.
26:14What good is giving when there is no one to take what is given?
26:18I have never hidden what I felt, for I was always afraid of hiding myself.
26:22Today I suddenly realize that nobody can find me.
26:25I leave myself now unable to remember the face and faces of people who touched me.
26:32I only remember what they were to me, what I never was to them.
27:08Tomorrow is the day.
27:10La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
27:40Listen, the bell tolls for the night man's watch
28:09Somewhere, still in this breach, a girl cries in the noise
28:39la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
29:09It was then that I realized that I did not fear death, but it was what I would look back
29:27Very pretty, that view.
