[00:00.00]All This Time - Studio 99
[00:15.52]I looked out across
[00:19.32]The river today
[00:23.49]I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
[00:26.70]Where the seagulls play
[00:31.26]I saw the sad shire horses walking home
[00:35.35]In the sodium light
[00:38.62]I saw two priests on the ferry
[00:40.45]October geese on a cold winter's night
[00:46.28]And all this time the river flowed
[00:54.66]Endlessly to the sea
[01:00.95]If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
[01:09.18]And I'd bury the old man
[01:12.29]I'd bury him at sea
[01:16.03]Blessed are the poor for they shall inherit the earth
[01:24.66]Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle
[01:32.28]And as these words were spoken I swear
[01:34.85]I hear the old man laughing
[01:39.61]'What good is a used up world and how could it be
[01:42.72]Worth having'
[01:46.47]And all this time the river flowed
[01:55.03]Endlessly like a silent tear
[02:01.40]And all this time the river flowed
[02:09.26]Father if Jesus exists
[02:11.70]Then how come he never lived here
[02:28.39]The teachers told us the Romans built this place
[02:35.41]They built a wall and a temple an edge of the empire
[02:39.51]Garrison town
[02:42.97]They lived and they died they prayed to their gods
[02:46.48]But the stone gods did not make a sound
[02:50.53]And their empire crumbled 'til all that was left
[02:53.86]Were the stones the workmen found
[02:58.37]And all this time the river flowed
[03:06.09]In the falling light of a northern sun
[03:13.31]If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
[03:20.86]Men go crazy in congregations
[03:23.36]But they only get one by one
[03:30.42]One by one
