Song Lyrics

Joshua smiled, said
"Listen to reason
Don't blame me when the walls
Come tumbling down"

So I was adrift on the sea of longing
Awaiting the trumpets
To raise your ivory gown

And if only time will tell
Then I can't stand waiting
While the lights are changing on me

Tell it to my own free will
If I lost this thorn from my side
I think I'd die

Albert Camus said, "Living is anguish"
But don't dare let those bastards
Carry you down

And if this is so then I see no reason
For spending the evening doing anything
But going down town

And if only time will tell
Then I can't stand waiting
While the lights are changing on me

Tell it to my own free will
If I lost this thorn from my side
I'd probably die, most likely die
I think I'd die
