about

Live on stage at the Prince Albert, Brighton, April 1997

lyrics

Ever since I was a boy
Thought what it means to be a man
All the things I’d like to change
And the places where I would stand

And it all comes back to me
But it all seems like a dream

Ever since I was a child
I felt the pressure of a hand
Moving through my life
It cast a shadow of an end of night

But the hand must make retreat
for the moment to be complete

And I feel the wind blowing through those years
And I saw the rains falling back to sleep
And I feel then that all is well
that there’s a truth hidden in each day
The secret is hard to kill
for it’s the one thing I have known, it’ll set me free


And I feel the wind blowing through those years
And I saw the sun, and I knew the we
Got a long, yeah such a long, long way to go...
Yeah such a long, yeah such a long, long way to go…
