I'm Peter van der Hold |
| [00:07.46] |
I'm 68 years old |
| [00:09.72] |
|
| [00:10.73] |
I doubt some questions have increased |
| [00:14.29] |
In 42 years of being a priest |
| [00:17.99] |
|
| [00:19.00] |
I'm at the end of my life |
| [00:21.19] |
|
| [00:21.94] |
I'm not sure if I'm gonna survive |
| [00:25.03] |
|
| [00:25.59] |
I often don't know what to say |
| [00:29.60] |
When I talk to Him, when I pray |
| [00:33.61] |
|
| [00:34.49] |
In reply I receive |
| [00:36.68] |
|
| [00:37.62] |
Only silence, no relieve |
| [00:40.06] |
|
| [00:40.76] |
I've waited in vain for a little advice |
| [00:44.60] |
from that great voice in the therial skies |
| [00:48.42] |
|
| [01:05.94] |
Once I was revolutionary |
| [01:09.26] |
A devoted mercenary |
| [01:12.26] |
|
| [01:12.94] |
A gifted student in God's hands |
| [01:16.38] |
|
| [01:16.89] |
Now I'm old and sick of his demands |
| [01:21.08] |
|
| [01:22.21] |
I tried to be honest and good |
| [01:24.77] |
|
| [01:25.58] |
Did my job the best I could |
| [01:27.91] |
|
| [01:29.15] |
But I always stayed that average man |
| [01:33.01] |
Right in the spot where I'll be damned |
| [01:36.44] |
|
| [01:38.31] |
During the grieve with which I've dealt |
| [01:40.75] |
|
| [01:41.68] |
Spent three decades since I've felt |
| [01:44.59] |
|
| [01:45.33] |
The certainty I so adored 'bout the existence of the Lord |
| [01:52.96] |
|
| [01:55.05] |
I've seen enough, that's why I know |
| [02:00.44] |
|
| [02:02.31] |
God left this place, long long time ago |
| [02:07.89] |
|
| [02:28.10] |
I'll give him to my perish |
| [02:31.13] |
|
| [02:31.68] |
Things I don't have myself but cherish |
| [02:34.05] |
|
| [02:35.30] |
And namely love and charity |
| [02:38.44] |
|
| [02:39.32] |
Mostly purpose that's what sets you free |
| [02:43.72] |
|
| [02:44.47] |
So I'm where the metaphore |
| [02:46.54] |
|
| [02:47.85] |
I'm not comforting anymore |
| [02:50.93] |
|
| [02:51.52] |
I think I'm almost done with my search |
| [02:55.52] |
Got old so fast even in my church |
| [02:59.76] |
|
| [03:00.47] |
But feels as if I'm kept out |
| [03:03.23] |
|
| [03:04.24] |
Some sort of secret about |
| [03:07.31] |
|
| [03:08.18] |
The meaning of live sometimes |
| [03:11.81] |
Can't fail to notice these are mediocre types |
| [03:15.08] |
|
| [03:17.26] |
I've seen enough, that's why I know |
| [03:22.74] |
|
| [03:24.43] |
God left this place, long long time ago |
| [03:30.89] |
|
| [03:32.13] |
I've seen enough, that's why I know |
| [03:38.16] |
|
| [03:39.80] |
God left this place, long long time ago |
| [03:46.21] |
|
| [03:48.89] |
And time has made me good at one thing |
| [03:51.96] |
|
| [03:52.59] |
And horrible at everything else |
| [03:56.47] |
The blessings of a world divine |
| [03:59.65] |
|
| [04:00.16] |
Were always elsewhere and never mine |
| [04:03.66] |
|
| [04:05.22] |
Oh, I would like to hold someone |
| [04:08.81] |
Briefly maybe have some fun |
| [04:12.45] |
My body's hardly designed |
| [04:15.94] |
|
| [04:16.50] |
So I'm not really the hugging kind |
| [04:20.14] |
|
| [04:21.51] |
Not once has there been |
| [04:23.83] |
|
| [04:25.02] |
Someone with a softer skin |
| [04:27.91] |
|
| [04:28.59] |
Who reached out for me in the middle of the night |
| [04:32.97] |
'Cause my own lumpy mattress would've turn on the light |
| [04:37.38] |
|
| [04:38.19] |
I think I've been miscast |
| [04:40.33] |
|
| [04:41.70] |
And the time of saints is passed |
| [04:44.53] |
|
| [04:45.14] |
My faith is reclassed but not least |
| [04:49.01] |
After 42 years of being a priest |
| [04:53.77] |
|
| [04:54.40] |
The church is like a woman |
| [04:56.71] |
|
| [04:57.96] |
Thing out of reach like a vision |
| [05:00.41] |
|
| [05:01.86] |
She glimmers in the distance which I could never quite get |
| [05:05.87] |
Now i'm stuck here with my regret |
| [05:09.13] |
|
| [05:11.08] |
I've seen enough, that's why I know |
| [05:16.52] |
|
| [05:18.41] |
God left this place, long long time ago |
| [05:24.21] |
|
| [05:25.65] |
I've seen enough, that's why I know |
| [05:31.59] |
|
| [05:32.84] |
God left this place, long long time ago |
| [05:39.54] |
|
| [05:40.29] |
I've seen enough, that's why I know |
| [05:46.38] |
|
| [05:47.70] |
God left this place, long long time ago |
| [05:54.16] |
|
| [05:54.85] |
I've seen enough, that's why I know |
| [06:00.62] |
|
| [06:02.07] |
God left this place, long long time ago |
| [06:09.17] |
|
| [06:18.88] |
It's my portion, it's my call... |
| [06:21.45] |
|
| [06:22.38] |
It's my portion, it's my call... |
