Afternoon Song

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
