Album | Goodbye to the Age of Steam |
They focused on the hill | |
a tower loomed in near space | |
other things seemed out of phase. | |
Sure, Jan and Tom had faith, | |
how persuasive an ideal. | |
Everything to everyone. | |
Waiting for the moment to come. | |
And every waking hour is the waiting that’s done. | |
Writing, thinking and building of expectations | |
meetings weekends, melting of constellations. | |
And time is out of time and is turning. | |
Putting people into spaces | |
taking others out of time. | |
The savant wants for saving now. | |
She’s waiting for someone to run | |
and every waking hour is the waiting that’s done. | |
Distant and distance, in a pivotal moment broken. | |
For now it’s done caring and is ready to | |
go on home. | |
And time is out of time. And is turning. | |
“So sorry, does it matter anymore?” | |
Her movement, charged with wonder, | |
the wonder is she’s there at all. “So sorry.” | |
The tower looms unreal, | |
someone somewhere calling | |
running fast on empty words | |
to the edge of the known world. | |
Some may be afraid, maybe take the easy way | |
turn and face the rage. | |
So “sorry” counts for nothing in the end. | |
No, it never really mattered | |
(but the meaning lies between the words.) | |
Hidden deep within words. | |
And time is out of time…and is lost. |
They focused on the hill | |
a tower loomed in near space | |
other things seemed out of phase. | |
Sure, Jan and Tom had faith, | |
how persuasive an ideal. | |
Everything to everyone. | |
Waiting for the moment to come. | |
And every waking hour is the waiting that' s done. | |
Writing, thinking and building of expectations | |
meetings weekends, melting of constellations. | |
And time is out of time and is turning. | |
Putting people into spaces | |
taking others out of time. | |
The savant wants for saving now. | |
She' s waiting for someone to run | |
and every waking hour is the waiting that' s done. | |
Distant and distance, in a pivotal moment broken. | |
For now it' s done caring and is ready to | |
go on home. | |
And time is out of time. And is turning. | |
" So sorry, does it matter anymore?" | |
Her movement, charged with wonder, | |
the wonder is she' s there at all. " So sorry." | |
The tower looms unreal, | |
someone somewhere calling | |
running fast on empty words | |
to the edge of the known world. | |
Some may be afraid, maybe take the easy way | |
turn and face the rage. | |
So " sorry" counts for nothing in the end. | |
No, it never really mattered | |
but the meaning lies between the words. | |
Hidden deep within words. | |
And time is out of time and is lost. |
