Golden Hours Lyrics - Brian Eno

The passage of time 

Is flicking dimly up on the screen 

I can't see the lines 

I used to think i could read between 

Perhaps my brains have turned to san 

Oh me oh my 

I think it's been an eternity 

You'd be surprised 

At my degree of uncertainty 

How can moments go so slow. 

Several times 

I've seen the evening slide away 

Watching the signs 

Taking over from the fading day 

Perhaps my brains are old and scrambled. 

Several times 

I've seen the evening slide away 

Watching the signs 

Taking over from the fading day 

Changing water into wine. 

Several times 

I've seen the evening slide away 

Watching the signs 

Taking over from the fading day 

Putting the grapes back on the vine. 

(simultaneously with the last two verses, another voice sings another melody with different words, as follows:) 

Who would believe what a poor set of eyes can show you 

Who would believe what an innocent voice could do 

Never a silence always a face at the door. 

Who would believe what a poor set of ears can tell you 

Who would believe what a weak pair of hands can do 

Never a silence always a foot in the door.
