The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress
Paal Flaata
3:32The old saints have come to say goodbye Not even they can tell me why The air is growing thin The walls are closing in Making me stuck in this lullaby I don't know how this came about A loud watch is ticking its sad sermon out And outside my room A heavy mist gloom With shadows running out to be found out All the while I'm listening for your steps All the while I'm listening for your steps And time is my enemy And time is my enemy All the while I'm listening for your steps All the while I'm listening for your steps And time is my enemy And time is my enemy tonight The four seasons play and my curtains fold My bed's like a rock without the roll And I never saw an absence or flaw So big and so rich it just swallows my soul And I can be cold in the summer heat And I can be warm in the winter sleet And I'm burning out And I'm freezing in To ostracize memories of everything All the while I'm listening for your steps All the while I'm listening for your steps And time is my enemy And time is my enemy All the while I'm listening for your steps All the while I'm listening for your steps And time is my enemy And time is my enemy tonight
