Sting - All This Time

[00:15.35] I looked out across [00:19.11] The river today [00:23.37] Saw a city in the fog and an old church town where the seagulls play [00:30.82] Saw the sad shire horses walking home [00:34.59] In the sodium light [00:38.43] Two priests on the ferry [00:40.22] October geese on a cold winter's night [00:45.97] All this time [00:50.39] The river flowed [00:54.00] Endlessly [00:57.41] To the sea [01:01.12] Two priests came 'rounf [01:04.93] Our house tonight [01:09.31] One young, one old [01:10.39] To offer prayers for the dying to serve the final rite [01:14.22] [01:16.26] One to learn, one to teach [01:19.97] Which way the cold wind blows [01:24.34] And fussing and flapping in priestly black [01:27.11] Like a murder of crows [01:31.47] All this time [01:35.82] The river flowed [01:39.52] Endlessly [01:42.84] To the sea [01:45.74] If I had my way [01:48.88] [01:50.91] I'd take a boat from the river [01:54.55] And I'd bury the old man [01:57.38] I'd bury him at sea [02:01.73] Blessed are the poor [02:05.66] For they shall inherit the Earth [02:10.15] Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle [02:17.19] As these words were spoken I swear [02:20.82] I hear the old man laughing [02:25.06] "What good is a used up world, and how could it be worth having?" [02:32.17] All this time [02:36.15] The river flowed [02:40.06] Endlessly [02:43.41] Like a silent tear [02:46.67] All this time [02:49.50] [02:51.64] The river flowed [02:54.50] Father, if Jesus exists [02:57.37] Then how come he never lived here?
