Though she was quite meek she was for greatness destined She was known to speak with folks most interesting Hey girl your mama don't believe ya But you looked her in the eye And said "Would I deceive ya?" Waitin' for a miracle They say it came and went Waitin' for a miracle Didn't see it and it won't be back again In a vision she could see a woman clothed in light When the sun came out she cried "Behold the sight!" Ten thousand folks on bended knee Finally taking her story seriously Waitin' for a miracle They say it came and went Waitin' for a miracle Didn't see it and it won't be back again Did you see what I just saw? No...but tell the press I'm filled with awe Hey girl they tried to make you cry But you had half the town Lookin' at the sky Waitin' for a miracle They say it came and went Waitin' for a miracle Didn't see it and it won't be back again

And so it came to pass A mighty empire rose From time to time under siege by the beast From the forest where no man goes Brave and mighty was the chieftain Sought by women far and wide Into the forest he journeyed And at his sword the great beast died We will return We will return And the long forgotten flame Once again will burn Setting out on his journey home Looming darkness concealed the way To the Goddess of the Moon he prayed And she sent down her heavenly rays Gazing down at his moonlit face Such fine features she'd never seen Come live with me in the heavens she cried We'll be celestial king and queen We will return We will return And the long forgotten flame Once again will burn Goddess o most high you are Greater than all things that shine above But my people I have sworn to lead And so I must withhold my love Most impressed am I she said By your boundless loyalty Now to the underworld I banish You and your people for eternity We will return We will return And the long forgotten flame Once again will burn

Fences 02:41
Silence...stillness...days without a shave Pencil...moving...'cross an empty page Even my piano wants to stay inside and drink Keep hearing a cure is on the brink Touching...breathing...standing much too near Fences...trying to keep us in the clear Hands no longer holding...faces framed by wire mesh No passage in the flesh If I had a dollar for each time I hear the phrase "In these uncertain times" come blaring out the TV I would buy a wrecking ball and knock the fences down Melt 'em all down and cast it out to sea Watching your departing silhouette Walking...lighting one last cigarette If I had a dollar for each time I hear the phrase "In these uncertain times" come blaring out the TV I would buy a wrecking ball and knock the fences down Melt 'em all down and cast it out to sea

Nine ten a big fat hen The king speaks to his people again One two the old brown shoe All good words none of them true And the jester says: Simple I may be But you'll never make a fool of me JESTER: How far the nearest star? KING: Threescore miles from Reading Bazaar JESTER: Can I get there by candlelight? KING: Yes and back in one fortnight And the jester says: Simple I may be But you'll never make a fool of me KING: What I tell you three times is true JESTER: That's three more than I'll listen to you Cause water's water if twenty men call it wine And time was time before anyone named it "time" Hear ye the king's decree Hang the jester from a tree But he was on horseback by dark of night Out of town before first light And a note said: Simple I may be But you'll never make a fool of me KING: What I tell you three times is true JESTER: That's three more than I'll listen to you Cause water's water if twenty men call it wine And time was time before anyone named it "time"

Hazy Castle 04:00
Lately I've been thinkin' Random thoughts of you In that place you're at is any Daylight seeping through Reams of age-old wisdom Stacked against the walls Portraits of the ancients Lining musty halls Built to withstand the onslaught of the ages Now under siege as human knowledge rages So tell me how are things In your hazy castle Do angel choirs sing In your hazy castle Some day I will visit you In your hazy castle You'll look radiant in robes of Prussian blue With ornate tassels Please crack a window open I don't know if I can breathe in there Will those truths you put your hope in Remain...when exposed to air
