[00:18.42] I can tell by the way you're walking,
[00:21.86]
[00:23.20] you don't want company
[00:26.20]
[00:27.64] I'll let you alone and I'll let you walk on and
[00:32.64] In your own good time you'll be
[00:35.70]
[00:37.39] Back where the sun can find you,
[00:40.95]
[00:41.95] under the wise wishing tree
[00:45.20]
[00:45.89] And with all of them made well lie
[00:49.14] under the shade and call it a jubilee
[00:53.92]
[00:55.36] And I can tell by the way youre talking,
[00:58.73]
[00:59.98] that the past isn't letting you go
[01:03.10]
[01:04.54] There's only so long you can take it all on,
[01:09.23] And then the wrong's gotta be on its own
[01:12.42]
[01:13.54] And when youre ready to leave it behind you,
[01:18.10] Youll look back and all that you'll see
[01:21.67]
[01:22.98] Is the wreckage and rust that you left
[01:26.23] in the dust on your way to the jubilee
[01:31.29]
[01:41.11] And I can tell by the way you're listening,
[01:44.80]
[01:45.86] That youre still expecting to hear
[01:49.24]
[01:50.67] Your name being called like a summons
[01:54.05] to all who have failed to account
[01:56.99] For their doubts and their fears,
[01:59.43] They can't add up to to much without you
[02:03.05]
[02:03.99] And so if it were up to me
[02:07.40]
[02:08.16] I'd take hold of your hand
[02:11.03] Saying come hear the band
[02:13.47] play your song at the jubilee
[02:18.16]
[02:36.16] And I can tell by the way you're searching,
[02:39.72]
[02:40.34] For something you can't even name
[02:44.38]
[02:45.38] That you haven't been able to come to the table,
[02:50.50] Simply glad that you came
[02:53.44]
[02:54.25] When you feel like this try to imagine
[02:58.38]
[02:59.00] that were all like frail boats on the sea
[03:03.00]
[03:03.63] Just scanning the night for
[03:06.06] that great guiding light announcing the jubilee
[03:12.69]
[03:13.81] And I can tell by the way
[03:15.56] you're standing with your eyes filling with tears
[03:21.09]
[03:22.15] That its habit alone that keeps you turning for home,
[03:26.90] even though your home is right here
[03:30.85]
[03:31.53] Where the people who love you are gathered,
[03:35.47]
[03:36.53] under the wise wishing tree
[03:39.84]
[03:40.66] May we all be considered
[03:43.40] then straight on delivered down to the jubilee
[03:48.88]
[03:50.07] Because to people who love you are waiting,
[03:54.13] And they'll wait just as long as need be
[03:57.76]
[04:00.57] When we look back and say those were halcyon days
[04:05.00] Were talking about jubilee
