been listening

the song's a thing

and this one's thin

from traveling light

the stars at night

have seen old time

to new erosion

old time gone

with old religions

prickled interest seizing pride

the night the music upped and died

died. been listening all the night long

been listening all the day

will i listen for the one you know?

will i listen

will i pray?

it's a-coming all the night long

it's a-coming in the day

it's blowing through my stone ears

whistling its way

left the song

behind old chums

the faintest trace

of what's to come

what's behind

and what is near

banished by

a suckling ear

coffee lustre

lend me mine

nothing came with beer and wine

wine. been listening all the night long

been listening all the day

will i listen for the one you know?

will i listen

will i pray?

it's a-coming all the night long

it's a-coming in the day

it's blowing through my stone ears

whistling its way

the music's gone

the music's dead

the music went

and

in its stead

a single song

a chorus strong

a symphony

sans right or wrong

the band's rehearsing

the radio's off

the silence is everything

hold that cough

cough. been listening all the night long

been listening all the day

will i listen to the one you know?

will i listen

will i pray?

it's a-coming all the night long

it's a-coming in the day

it's blowing through my stone ears

whistling its way
