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
