Yashimbawula! (the watchman's fire is burning)
|
|
What happened to the diamonds in your eyes,
|
What happened to the hunger for the day's chase?
|
What happened to the electric smile
|
That danced across your face
|
We used to talk about changing the world
|
Now all you want to do is change your name
|
Come on baby don't surrender now
|
to the empty heart of these days.
|
We used to talk so deep into the night
|
You had the heart of a wild horse running
|
You bared your soul to me
|
and we both knew these days were coming
|
|
Chorus:
|
These days -- blood in the heavens
|
These days -- fire and ice
|
These days -- burning streets and visions
|
These days -- of the loveless child
|
|
Yashimbawula!
|
|
You were the reason I came here
|
You will always be the one I am looking for
|
I can't stand to see the way
|
these days are pushing you against the wall
|
Got to get up, got to move out
|
Face the tide beyond the door
|
Outside there's a whole world changing
|
We can't stand here, trapped inside
|
Let's step out and test the weazther
|
Hang on baby, it's going to ge a rough ride thru'
|
|
Chorus
|
|
These days -- searching for a vision
|
These days -- gun metal blue
|
These days -- changing my religion
|
These days -- heartless and cruel
|
|
say the words and fill my sails
|
I will love you through the coming gale
|
we'll get through the darkest heart of these days
|
|
"It's killing time"
|
Who will watch the watchers?
|
Who will keep the keepers?
|
Who will love the lovers -- could you?
|
|
Chorus....
