  • These days of wild uncertain times I ask the empty skies
    Who will keep things rolling, who to sing Hosannas to
    The temple calls but I can't see what use my prayers will?be
    And?will?this world keep?rolling with only?good intentions

    Still, it fills the eye this line of stone, incense, icons, coming on strong
    Here comes splendour, hallowed air and is it wonder or

    Despair bends my knee, the day's dying flame
    Motes in its beam glitter and blaze
    Say isn't it true that it's all through in a single spark between two eternities

    I'll watch the moon, kick off my shoes, reach for my old guitar
    Fed on milk and honeydew, what things can we undo

    Desire bends my knee, the dying embers flame
    Hungry to believe but just the same
    Isn't it true that it's all through in a single spark between two eternities

    Bittersweet the night's embrace, I'm thankful and afraid
    So pray to keep things rolling, I've only good intentions Writer/s: DAVID JON GILMOUR, POLLY ANNE SAMSON
