[01:04.37] the time has come', he said
[01:06.84] With talk of cabbages and kings
[01:10.03] He died in bed
[01:12.81] And though he seemed unsure
[01:17.57] The walrus in him knew the place
[01:21.10] And asked no more
[01:23.05] Tall sister shakes her head
[01:28.42] No need to hear the voice
[01:30.41] In tones of measured lead
[01:35.89] And waiting by the door
[01:38.40] The next in line will close his eyes
[01:42.18] He won't wait
[01:45.74]
[02:48.63] As the reel of age unwinds
[02:51.70] Upon the floor the perfect frames
[02:54.39] Are hard to find
[02:58.95] Editing the sense from senseless
[03:01.94] All forces too intense
[03:04.20] Are fossilized in white
[03:07.53] Seen through a looking-glass
[03:11.56] Some madmen know the truth
[03:14.42] While fools won't dare to ask
[03:17.80] 'the time has come', he said
[03:22.18] With talk of cabbages and kings
[03:25.62] He died in bed and asked no more
[03:30.38]
[04:31.10] While sunk in memories
[04:33.69] He kept no promises to mend his broken ways
[04:39.96] No last ditch piety
[04:43.71] To send him honestly into some empty space
[04:50.03] My hand against the sky
[04:54.31] With fingers spread, another tree
[04:57.44] Though half as wise
[04:59.15] Seen through a looking-glass
[05:04.54] Some madmen know the truth
[05:06.56] While fools won't dare to ask what times will come
[05:13.03]
