Koos Kombuis - Wrapped Around The Moon lyrics
Your rating:
The old folks are sleeping in their houses where they're keeping All the sounds of blood and weeping from a stone age long ago Did you think I've been deceiving when I told you I was leaving In all the letters you're receiving full of things that you don't know Daddy, will you pass the spoon. Daddy, I'll be an old man soon Daddy, can you hear this tune? It is the tune of the room of forgiveness And it's wrapped around the moon Wrapped around the moon So don't consider me uncouth, for in the vineyards of your youth You'll find some traces of the truth right where you left them when you died If I appear to act unusual just consult your family bible Even Christ lived by survival. Day to day he lived to hide For the statues of the dead are but the symbols in your head Of the simple things he said to the people in the street And the cliches you abide in, or the prisons that we cried in But I've had my final hiding, it's time to stand on my own feet Daddy, will you pass the spoon. Daddy, I'll be an old man soon Daddy, can you hear this tune? It is the tune of the room of forgiveness And it's wrapped around the moon Wrapped around the moon Daddy, will you pass the spoon. Daddy, I'll be an old man soon Daddy, can you hear this tune? It is the tune of the room of forgiveness And it's wrapped around the moon Wrapped around the moon Now the sun is slowly rising over this town I've been despising And I can hear the local choir sing 'If glory to The Lord' The preacher's heart grows feeble as he mumbles in his steeple Before the gathering of the people and the strumming of the chord At the last bend of the highway you can say I did it my way As you approach the final gateway passed the stone faced lion's stare And I'm sure that I'll see you there if the weather stays this fair I will complete my trip and cut my hair, simply ready to do anything and travel everywhere Daddy, will you pass the spoon. Daddy, I'll be an old man soon Daddy, can you hear this tune? It is the tune of the room of forgiveness And it's wrapped around the moon Wrapped around the moon
