| [ti:All This Time] | |
| [ar:Sting] | |
| [00:15.62] | I looked out across |
| [00:16.34] | The river today |
| [00:23.40] | I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower |
| [00:26.81] | Where the seagulls play |
| [00:30.46] | I saw the sad shire horses walking home |
| [00:34.73] | In the sodium light |
| [00:38.54] | I saw two priests on the ferry |
| [00:40.51] | October geese on a cold winter's night |
| [00:46.20] | And all this time the river flowed |
| [00:50.62] | Endlessly to the sea |
| [01:01.29] | Two priests came round our house tonight |
| [01:08.81] | One young one old to offer prayers for the dying |
| [01:12.56] | To serve the final rite |
| [01:16.48] | One to learn,one to teach |
| [01:20.34] | Which way the cold wind blows |
| [01:23.99] | Fussing and flapping in priestly black |
| [01:27.09] | Like a murder of crows |
| [01:31.51] | And all this time,the river flowed |
| [01:39.03] | Endlessly to the sea |
| [01:46.34] | If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river |
| [01:54.53] | And I'd bury the old man |
| [01:56.25] | I'd bury him at sea |
| [02:02.40] | Blessed are the poor,for they shall inherit the earth |
| [02:10.42] | Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle |
| [02:17.18] | And as these words were spoken I swear I hear |
| [02:20.94] | The old man laughing |
| [02:25.21] | 'What good is a used up world |
| [02:26.43] | And how could it be worth having |
| [02:31.91] | And all this time the river flowed |
| [02:40.09] | Endlessly like a silent tear |
| [02:46.90] | And all this time the river flowed |
| [02:55.02] | Father,if Jesus exists |
| [02:57.05] | Then how come he never lived here |
| [03:13.96] | The teacher told us,the Romans built this place |
| [03:21.43] | They built a wall and a temple,an edge of the empire |
| [03:25.39] | Garrison town |
| [03:28.84] | They lived and they died,they prayed to their gods |
| [03:32.91] | But the stone gods did not make a sound |
| [03:36.92] | And their empire crumbled,'til all that was left |
| [03:40.68] | Were the stones the workmen found |
| [03:44.39] | And all this time the river flowed |
| [03:51.96] | In the falling light of a northern sun |
| [03:59.12] | If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river |
| [04:07.14] | Men go crazy in congregations |
| [04:08.56] | But they only get better |
| [04:11.46] | One by one |
| [04:18.16] | One by one |
| [04:22.48] | One by one |
| [04:26.08] | One by one... |
| [04:27.05] | I looked out across |
| [04:28.93] | The river today |
| [04:33.45] | I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower |
| [04:36.65] | Where the seagulls play. |
| [04:40.16] | I saw the sad shire horses walking home |
| [04:44.88] | In the sodium light.... |
