[00:18.41]Here at the glass
[00:25.35]All the usual problems, all the habitual farce.
[00:34.65]You ask, in uncertain voice,
[00:42.63]What you should do,
[00:46.40]As if there were a choice but to carry on
[00:55.10]Miming the song
[00:58.85]And hope that it all works out right.
[01:03.84]Tonight it all seems so strange
[01:11.45]My spirit feels rigid, my body deranged;
[01:19.80]Still that's only from one point of view
[01:27.25]And we can't have illusion between me and you,
[01:35.86]My constant friend, ever close at hand
[01:43.23]You and the undercover man.
[01:59.80]I reflect:
[02:03.56]'It's very strange to be going through this change
[02:11.10]With no idea of what it's all been about
[02:15.57]Except in the context of time..
[02:17.95]Oh, but I shirk it, I've half a mind not to work it all out.
[02:31.66]Is this madness just the recurring wave of total emotion,
[02:39.52]Or a hide for the undercover man,
[02:47.37]Or a litany - all the signs are there of fervent devotion
[02:55.27]Or the cracking of the dam?
[03:11.06]It's cracked; smashed and bursting over you,
[03:16.41]There was no reason to expect such disaster.
[03:22.01]Now, panicking, you burst for air,
[03:24.83]Drowning, you know you care
[03:26.89]For nothing and no-one but yourself
[03:30.39]And would deny even this hand
[03:34.29]Which stretches out towards you to help.
[03:42.91]But would I leave you in this moment of your trial?
[03:51.03]Is it my fault that I'm here to see you crying?
[03:59.16]These phantom figures all around you should have told you,
[04:05.05]You should have found out by now,
[04:08.98]If you hadn't gone and tried to do it all by yourself.
[05:08.45]Even now we are not lost:
[05:15.61]If you look out at the night
[05:19.14]You'll see the colours and the lights
[05:22.92]Seem to say people are not far away,
[05:25.69]At least in distance,
[05:28.07]And it's only our own dumb resistance
[05:31.05]That's making us stay.
[05:39.18]When the madness comes
[05:41.73]Let it flood on down and over me sweetly,
[05:47.03]Let it drown the parts of me weak and blessed and damned,
[05:54.55]Let it slake my life, let it take my soul and living completely,
[06:02.55]Let it be who I am.
[06:08.68]There may not be time for us all to run in tandem together
[06:16.70]The horizon calls with its parallel lines.
[06:24.37]It may not be right for you to have and hold in one way forever
[06:32.46]And yet you still have time,
[06:40.86]You still have time.
