Negative Earth — текст песни (The Barclay James Harvest)

For fifty-five days I`ve been flying around the world
Didn`t anybody know, didn`t anyone suppose
That my life up here was slowly drifting by
And all I`ve got to do is sit and cry
The Earth is so clear and it`s simply a reach away
I just had to laugh today but the news it seemed to say
That my life once full was surely running dry
I prayed a while but then I had to cry

Look in my eyes - I know
That man is surely just a man
It`s no surprise - I know
The road is far too long
And life too short to carry on

For fifty-five days I`ve been flying around the world
Here in syncopated time, while my tangled web of rhyme
Dangles aimlessly, time drips slowly by
And all I`ve got to do is sit and cry

Look in my eyes - I know
That man is surely just a man
It`s no surprise - I know
The road is far too long
And life too short to carry on
