[length: 07:29]
[01:14.24]The warming sun, the cooling rain
[01:19.02]The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze
[01:23.99]The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
[01:28.85]Yet only eagles seem to pass on through
[01:33.72]The words of love, the cries of hate
[01:38.92]And the man in the moon who seduced you
[01:42.84]Then finally loosed you
[01:50.38]You climbed upon a burning rope to escape the mob below
[01:59.94]But you had put the flaming out so that others could not follow
[02:08.38]To be out of the bounds and the barks of those who do not wish you well
[02:19.54]You must blaze a trail of your own, unknown, alone
[02:28.64]But keep in mind
[02:31.79]Don’t live to-day for tomorrow like you were immortal
[02:38.39]The only survivors on this world of ours are
[02:43.75]The warming sun, the cooling rain
[02:48.64]The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze
[02:53.51]The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
[02:58.43]Yet only eagles seem to pass on through
[03:03.36]The words of love, the cries of hate
[03:08.45]And the man in the moon who seduced you
[03:12.45]Then finally loosed you
[03:16.27]
[05:31.90]You’re old and disillusioned now as you realize at last
[05:41.56]That all you have accomplished here will have soon all turned to dust
[05:49.90]You dream of a future afterlife, well that’s as maybe, I don’t know
[06:00.99]But you can’t take what you left behind, you’re all alone
[06:10.16]But keep in mind
[06:13.28]Don’t live to-day for tomorrow like you were immortal
[06:19.87]The only survivors on this world of ours are
[06:25.12]The warming sun, the cooling rain
[06:30.02]The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze
[06:34.97]The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
[06:39.86]Yet only eagles seem to pass on through
[06:44.74]The words of love, the cries of hate
[06:49.86]And the man in the moon, oh no
