[length: 09:37]
[00:29.63]I count the hours: you count the days.
[00:33.65]Together, we count the minutes in this passion play.
[00:39.50]Walk dusty miles.
[00:42.02]And i ride that train
[00:43.42]On a first class ticket, just to be with you again.
[00:49.85]Picking up tired feet.
[00:52.72]Back from a far horizon.
[00:54.86]Cleaned up and brushed down.
[00:57.70]Dressed to look the part.
[01:00.29]Fresh from god’s garden, i bring a gift of roses:
[01:04.95]To stand in sweet spring water and press them to your heart.
[01:10.48]Like the kipling cat, i walk alone
[01:14.49]Never inviting trouble, never casting the stone.
[01:20.45]But this badge of honour is of tarnished tin.
[01:24.44]Light your guiding beacon to bring this fisher in.
[01:30.54]Picking up tired feet.
[01:33.64]Back from a far horizon.
[01:35.54]Cleaned up and brushed down.
[01:38.58]Dressed to look the part.
[01:41.04]Fresh from god’s garden, i bring a gift of roses:
[01:45.71]To stand in sweet spring water and press them to your heart.
[02:21.57]I count the hours: you count the days.
[02:24.82]Together, we count the minutes in this passion play.
[02:30.82]Walk dusty miles.
[02:33.64]And i ride that train
[02:34.96]On a first class ticket, just to be with you again.
[02:41.07]Picking up tired feet.
[02:43.99]Back from a far horizon.
[02:46.08]Cleaned up and brushed down.
[02:48.92]Dressed to look the part.
[02:51.42]Fresh from god’s garden, i bring a gift of roses:
[02:56.18]To stand in sweet spring water and press them to your heart.
[03:00.88]Picking up tired feet.
[03:03.90]Back from a far horizon.
[03:05.80]Cleaned up and brushed down.
[03:08.86]Dressed to look the part.
[03:11.23]Fresh from god’s garden, i bring a gift of roses:
[03:16.06]To stand in sweet spring water and press them to your heart.
