lyrics; me

//

beggar movin` slowly

comin` down the road

shoulders slumped down lowly

ask him what he knows

he'll tell you something holy

he'll offer and he'll sow

"man speaks lookin` closely

but can't see beyond the goad"

oh, there's a hint of what's to come

oh, we've come too far to run

oh, we once were favored sons

oh no no, what's left has spun undone

try your luck still,

don't squabble over coin

hold your faith until

you know just what you join

then you'll have your fill

of honored breast and loin

then you'll know your will

but will you get the point

oh, there's a hint of what's to come

oh, we've come too far to run

oh, we once were favored sons

oh no no, what's left has spun undone

we change our meanings

still water belies waiting death

the gods no need for all our plea'ing

it's all the same to save or hold our breath

oh, there's a hint of what's to come

oh, we've come too far to run

oh, we once were favored sons

oh no no, what's left has spun undone

we change our meanings
