I. The Solid Time Of Change
|
(Anderson/Howe)
|
|
A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace,
|
And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace,
|
And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar,
|
Then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour.
|
And assessing points to nowhere, leading ev'ry single one.
|
A dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun,
|
And take away the plain in which we move,
|
And choose the course you're running.
|
|
Down at the edge, round by the corner,
|
Not right away, not right away.
|
Close to the edge, down by a river,
|
Not right away, not right away.
|
|
Crossed the line around the changes of the summer,
|
Reaching out to call the color of the sky.
|
Passed around a moment clothed in mornings faster than we see.
|
Getting over all the time I had to worry,
|
Leaving all the changes far from far behind.
|
We relieve the tension only to find out the master's name.
|
|
Down at the end, round by the corner.
|
Close to the edge, just by a river.
|
Seasons will pass you by.
|
I get up, I get down.
|
Now that it's all over and done,
|
Now that you find, now that you're whole.
|
|
II. Total Mass Retain
|
(Anderson/Squire)
|
|
My eyes convinced, eclipsed with the younger moon attained with love.
|
It changed as almost strained amidst clear manna from above.
|
I crucified my hate and held the word within my hand.
|
There's you, the time, the logic, or the reasons we don't understand.
|
|
Sad courage claimed the victims standing still for all to see,
|
As armoured movers took approached to overlook the sea.
|
There since the cord, the license, or the reasons we understood will be.
|
|
Down at the edge, close by a river.
|
Close to the edge, round by the corner.
|
Close to the end, down by the corner.
|
Down at the edge, round by the river.
|
|
Sudden problems shouldn't take away the startled memory.
|
All in all, the journey takes you all the way.
|
As apart from any reality that you've ever seen and known.
|
Guessing problems only to deceive the mention,
|
Passing paths that climb halfway into the void.
|
As we cross from side to side, we hear the total mass retain.
|
|
Down at the edge, round by the corner.
|
Close to the end, down by a river.
|
Seasons will pass you by.
|
I get up, I get down.
|
|
III. I Get Up, I Get Down
|
(Anderson/Howe)
|
|
In her white lace, you could clearly see the lady sadly looking.
|
Saying that she'd take the blame
|
For the crucifixion of her own domain. I get up,
|
I get down,
|
I get up,
|
I get down.
|
|
Two million people barely satisfy.
|
Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late.
|
The eyes of honesty can achieve.
|
How many millions do we deceive each day?
|
I get up, I get down.
|
I get up, I get down.
|
|
In charge of who is there in charge of me.
|
Do I look on blindly and say I see the way?
|
The truth is written all along the page.
|
How old will I be before I come of age for you?
|
I get up, I get down.
|
I get up, I get down.
|
I get up, I get down.
|
|
IV. Seasons Of Man
|
(Anderson/Howe)
|
|
The time between the notes relates the color to the scenes.
|
A constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man, it seems.
|
And space between the focus shape ascend knowledge of love.
|
As song and chance develop time, lost social temp'rance rules above.
|
Ah, ah.
|
|
Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space,
|
He turned around and pointed, revealing all the human race.
|
I shook my head and smiled a whisper, knowing all about the place.
|
On the hill we viewed the silence of the valley,
|
Called to witness cycles only of the past.
|
And we reach all this with movements in between the said remark.
|
|
Close to the edge, down by the river.
|
Down at the end, round by the corner.
|
Seasons will pass you by,
|
Now that it's all over and done,
|
Called to the seed, right to the sun.
|
Now that you find, now that you're whole.
|
Seasons will pass you by,
|
I get up, I get down.
|
I get up, I get down.
|
I get up, I get down.
|
I get up.
