Switchboard Lyrics

Ides Of Space Switchboard

"The time has come," the walrus said
"To talk of other things
Like how to find the super glue to patch those broken wings
And whether anything can last until the fat girl sings
And whether anything can last"

I heard him speak and I proposed
He wipe the away his tears
And give me just a little time to find a souvenir
A tiny piece of shattered hope
To show them you were here
A tiny piece of shattered hope

"The days are long," the walrus said
"But so, too, are the nights
And even birds with broken wings can manage winter's flight
So one day at a time again and we'll make it alright
One day at a time again"

I heard him speak and I proposed
He wipe the away his tears
And give me just a little time to find a souvenir
A tiny piece of shattered hope
To show them you were here
A tiny piece of shattered hope
