New Model Army Afternoon Song
(Sullivan/Heaton) Time passes slow Fields stretch out across open acres Time passes slow The giant steps of mankind touch us so little in the great lands Our little storm Whirls away out across calm wide oceans In this sacred breath You and I falling for ever and ever and ever The news peoples' dull voices bring across the distant tidings of great disasters, politicians speaking in some solemn tones, the crisis of a different world, the panic of the thousands the destiny of millions, so far away Time passes slow Sunlight sparkles on rippling waters And the trees they sway I don't believe in the things that I can't see Our little storm Whirls away out across calm wide oceans In this sacred breath You and I falling for ever and ever and ever
