| Tell me dark heart of my deep sleep
|
| Where the past drops in like unwanted guests
|
| Rattling their chains of thought, shuffling their feet
|
| Peering into things I thought I’d laid to rest
|
| And for all I’ve left undone there’s another dream to come
|
| Once there were wars fought over spice and salt
|
| And the stick of gold became the standard measure
|
| Nothing much has changed in this modern age
|
| And it won’t until the pain’s not worth the pleasure
|
| And for all we’ve left undone
|
| There’s another war to come
|
| I want to feed and water the horses
|
| The course is long and dry
|
| Can’t do it alone oh no we can’t although we’ve tried and tried and tried
|
| We may not deserve you, we’ll come to serve you by and by
|
| Feed and water the horses
|
| Where they lie
|
| I miss the smell of ink on paper and it’s morning pull
|
| All the news comes via link now all so virtual
|
| I don’t know what to think
|
| I don’t know what to feel
|
| The beginning of the end or reinvention of the wheel
|
| And for all we’ve left undone
|
| We are still evolution
|
| I want to feed and water the horses
|
| The course is long and dry
|
| Can’t do it alone oh no we can’t although we’ve tried and tried and tried
|
| We may not deserve you, we’ll come to serve you by and by
|
| Feed and water the horses
|
| Where they lie
|
| I realize that the beast lie there in our plans
|
| Peacefully sleeping, but faithfully keeping
|
| They’re ready for the burden man
|
| But if you knew something (peacefully sleeping)
|
| They’d take you to something (faithfully keeping)
|
| You are dying for your burden man (they're ready for the burden man)
|
| Wouldn’t you need it? |
| (Wouldn't you need it?)
|
| Wouldn’t you feed it? |
| (Wouldn't you feed it?)
|
| Wouldn’t you praise it evermore?
|
| Feed and water the horses
|
| The course is long and dry
|
| Can’t do it alone oh no we can’t although we’ve tried and tried and tried
|
| We may not deserve you. |
| We’ll come to serve you by and by
|
| Feed and water the horses where they lie |
