John Cale

Time Stands Still
The Grandeur that was Europe Is sinking in the mud The savagery that was the Church of God Has already joined the club The melody that was language Was the hook that caught the fish Did you realize how late it was Later than you think I'm sleeping, sleeping, sleeping And time is standing still The roses in the garden are growing in the rain Competing with the poppy for the sun It's Christmas in the wilderness, spring time in Japan Monsoons happening everywhere, even in your backyard I don't want to hear about heartache or dancing in the snow We've all been there, so many times before From Letras Mania
