Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ New Model Army - 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 the distant tidings of great disasters, politicians speaking in some solemn tone, 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 dont believe in the things that i cant 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
