How the Hours...

[00:14.42] Staring out of the window
[00:18.01] How the clouds are moving slow
[00:21.62] Watching their broken fragments
[00:25.29] As the tea is on the stove
[00:28.87] Floor is scattered paper
[00:33.45] And the dishes all undone
[00:37.04] Before I get my life in line
[00:40.61] I'll write me one more song
[00:44.25] How the hours sing along
[00:48.70] Their solemn requiem
[00:51.48] Open sky before me
[00:55.96] Behold me now just as I am
[01:07.79] Listen here you old big world
[01:18.54] Beyond my own mind's door
[01:22.18] If you come a-knocking
[01:24.92] Mind you ain't no bore
[01:28.55] 'Cause if you's gonna clamor
[01:33.06] Awake my weary dream
[01:36.61] You ought at least to offer
[01:40.25] For my tea some cream
[01:43.85] How the hours sing aloud
[01:47.53] Their solemn requiem
[01:51.18] Open sky before me
[01:55.64] Behold me now just as I am
[02:13.69] I have some time for thinking
[02:18.13] When nothing else is mine
[02:21.84] When I got the world to please
[02:25.48] I cannot find the rhyme
[02:29.96] Yeah, when I lose my rhythm
[02:33.53] Where that I can float
[02:37.14] Seems without a river
[02:40.78] Ain't much use a boat
[02:44.45] How the hours sing along
[02:48.05] Their solemn requiem
[02:51.67] Open sky before me
[02:56.12] Behold me now just as I am
[03:14.21] The trees just keep on growing
[03:17.81] And the sky still making rain
[03:21.44] When I wake I know that
[03:25.96] For me it is the same
[03:28.62] Ask me why I'm living
[03:33.22] I'll say it always was
[03:36.83] Ask why the sun is giving
[03:40.41] And you see it don't need a cause
[03:44.97] How the hours sing along
[03:51.22] Their solemn requiem
[03:52.13] Open sky before me
[03:55.73] Behold me now just as I am
[04:12.08]
