The song's a thing

Old time gone with old religion

Prickled interest seizing pride

The night the music upped and died, died.

Been listening all the night-long
Am F
Been listening all the day.

Will I listen for the one you know
Am F
Will I listen, will i pray?

It's a-coming all the night long
Am F
It's a-coming in the day
C G C F
It's blowing through my stone ears, whistling its way.
Left the song behind old chums
The faintest trace of what's to come
What's behind and what is near
Banished by a suckling ear.
Coffee lustre
Lend me mine
Nothing came with fear and wine, wine.
Been listening all the night long
Been listening all the day
Will I listen for the one you know
Will I listen, will I pray?
It's a coming all the night-long
Its a-coming in the day
Its blowing through my stone ears, whistling it's way.
The music's gone
The music's dead
The music went and in its stead
A single song, a chorus strong
A symphony, songs right or wrong
The band's rehearsing, the radios off
The silence is everything, hold that cough.
Been listening all the night-long
Been listening all the day
Will I listen to the one you know
Will I listen, will I pray?
It's a-coming all the night-long
It's a-coming in the day
It's blowing through my stone ears, whistling it's way.
