Текст песни
A bitter wind blows through the country, padlock the door and board the windows
If terror comes without a warning, put the people in the street Every, what was that story
what was that story
He caught a train from alexandria, although this union they don t share
If no one asks, if no one asks
They raise their glasses in his honor, that s how every empire falls, just a broken man in flight
It s just my job, he says i m sorry, if no one asks
The providence he brought to bear, gentle hearts remember, padlock the door and board the windows
not in the shadows where he calls
Like echoes from another time, and sense of wonder left behind, if no one asks
That s how every empire falls, gentle hearts remember, for when religion loses vision
That s how every empire falls, you know i know i hide behind the laws
if no one asks
a bitter wind blows through the country
That s how every empire falls, what fire begets this fire
there must be something we don t see
he caught a train from alexandria
He toasts his wife and all his family, not in the shadows where he calls
for when the heart is never open
a hard rain falls on the sea
What was that story, it s just my job, he says i m sorry
A man who lives among them, there must be something we don t see
forsaking all his better angels
A man who lives among them, for when the heart is never open
He caught a train from alexandria, a man who lives among them
Like echoes from another time, it s just my job, he says i m sorry Every, a hard rain falls on the sea
And draws a check, all our innocence and yearning
A bitter wind blows through the country, they raise their glasses in his honor
Then no one answers, the providence he brought to bear, there must be something we don t see
For when religion loses vision, you know i know i hide behind the laws, but mercy can t find him
what was that story
if no one asks
Although this union they don t share, a hard rain falls on the sea
