Did you see our brother |
| [00:16.57] |
He was here the other day |
| [00:20.09] |
But he only came to say |
| [00:22.61] |
That he was leaving |
| [00:28.09] |
Did you see his lady |
| [00:32.37] |
She was looking where he'd gone |
| [00:35.86] |
But she wasn't letting on |
| [00:38.38] |
That she was grieving |
| [00:44.43] |
She's bound to go |
| [00:48.81] |
Perhaps she'll find him waiting |
| [00:51.02] |
For his boat in some city far away |
| [01:00.08] |
She's bound to go |
| [01:09.65] |
Lately I remember |
| [01:13.41] |
Afternoons of smoke and wine |
| [01:16.89] |
There was nothing we could find |
| [01:19.26] |
But peace and pleasure |
| [01:25.06] |
And with a smile he told me |
| [01:29.30] |
That he wanted just to be on his way |
| [01:33.92] |
Across the sea no man can measure |
| [01:41.58] |
He won't be back |
| [01:45.75] |
And the sun may find him sleeping |
| [01:48.17] |
In the dust of some ruin far away |
| [01:57.62] |
He won't be back |
| [02:05.22] |
Early today as I watched while |
| [02:09.29] |
The skyline was shaking |
| [02:12.81] |
I heard a rumbling |
| [02:17.45] |
Early today the mechanical city was waking |
| [02:24.94] |
And I ran out stumbling, mumbling |
| [02:29.92] |
Out through the laughter |
| [02:32.75] |
Of children and dogs |
| [02:40.74] |
Did you see our brother |
| [02:46.08] |
He was here the other day |
| [02:49.06] |
But he only came to say that |
| [02:51.67] |
He can't breathe here |
| [02:57.12] |
Did you see his lady |
| [03:01.54] |
She was reaching for his hand |
| [03:05.02] |
Just as if to tell her man |
| [03:07.49] |
That she can't either |
| [03:13.77] |
They're bound to go |
| [03:18.05] |
And the sun may find me running after them |
| [03:22.07] |
Seeing something far away |
| [03:29.33] |
We won't be back |
