Sting - All This Time(2011)

[00:15.35] I looked out across
[00:19.11] The river today
[00:23.37] Saw a city in the fog and an old church town where the seagulls play
[00:30.82] Saw the sad shire horses walking home
[00:34.59] In the sodium light
[00:38.43] Two priests on the ferry
[00:40.22] October geese on a cold winter's night
[00:45.97] All this time
[00:50.39] The river flowed
[00:54.00] Endlessly
[00:57.41] To the sea
[01:01.12] Two priests came 'rounf
[01:04.93] Our house tonight
[01:09.31] One young, one old
[01:10.39] To offer prayers for the dying to serve the final rite
[01:14.22]
[01:16.26] One to learn, one to teach
[01:19.97] Which way the cold wind blows
[01:24.34] And fussing and flapping in priestly black
[01:27.11] Like a murder of crows
[01:31.47] All this time
[01:35.82] The river flowed
[01:39.52] Endlessly
[01:42.84] To the sea
[01:45.74] If I had my way
[01:48.88]
[01:50.91] I'd take a boat from the river
[01:54.55] And I'd bury the old man
[01:57.38] I'd bury him at sea
[02:01.73] Blessed are the poor
[02:05.66] For they shall inherit the Earth
[02:10.15] Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle
[02:17.19] As these words were spoken I swear
[02:20.82] I hear the old man laughing
[02:25.06] "What good is a used up world, and how could it be worth having?"
[02:32.17] All this time
[02:36.15] The river flowed
[02:40.06] Endlessly
[02:43.41] Like a silent tear
[02:46.67] All this time
[02:49.50]
[02:51.64] The river flowed
[02:54.50] Father, if Jesus exists
[02:57.37] Then how come he never lived here?
[03:01.25] Yeah, yeah
[03:04.82] Yeah, yeah
[03:08.81] Yeah, yeah
[03:13.85] Teachers told us
[03:17.61] The Romans built this place
[03:20.98] They built a wall and a temple and an
[03:23.91] Edge of the Empire garrison town
[03:28.96] They lived and they died
[03:31.18] They prayed to their Gods
[03:32.99] But the stone Gods did not make a sound
[03:36.67] And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left
[03:40.30] Were the stones the workmen found
[03:44.33] All this time
[03:48.41] The river flowed
[03:51.91] In the falling light
[03:55.58] Of a Northern sun
[03:58.90] If i had my way
[04:03.55] Take a boat from the river
[04:07.05] Men go crazy in congregations
[04:09.15] They only get better one by one
[04:12.95] Yeah, yeah (one by one)
[04:15.10]
[04:20.78] Yeah, yeah (one by one)
[04:24.62] Yeah, yeah (one by one)
