《All This Time》歌词

[00:00:00] All This Time - Heavy Fuel

[00:00:15] I looked out across

[00:00:19] The river today

[00:00:23] I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower

[00:00:26] Where the seagulls play

[00:00:31] I saw the sad shire horses walking home

[00:00:35] In the sodium light

[00:00:38] I saw two priests on the ferry

[00:00:40] October geese on a cold winter's night

[00:00:46] And all this time the river flowed

[00:00:54] Endlessly to the sea

[00:01:00] If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river

[00:01:09] And I'd bury the old man

[00:01:12] I'd bury him at sea

[00:01:16] Blessed are the poor for they shall inherit the earth

[00:01:24] Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle

[00:01:32] And as these words were spoken I swear

[00:01:34] I hear the old man laughing

[00:01:39] 'What good is a used up world and how could it be

[00:01:42] Worth having'

[00:01:46] And all this time the river flowed

[00:01:55] Endlessly like a silent tear

[00:02:01] And all this time the river flowed

[00:02:09] Father if Jesus exists

[00:02:11] Then how come he never lived here

[00:02:28] The teachers told us the Romans built this place

[00:02:35] They built a wall and a temple an edge of the empire

[00:02:39] Garrison town

[00:02:43] They lived and they died they prayed to their gods

[00:02:46] But the stone gods did not make a sound

[00:02:50] And their empire crumbled 'til all that was left

[00:02:53] Were the stones the workmen found

[00:02:58] And all this time the river flowed

[00:03:06] In the falling light of a northern sun

[00:03:13] If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river

[00:03:20] Men go crazy in congregations

[00:03:23] But they only get one by one

[00:03:30] One by one
