Terry & Julie Lyrics - Singles - Land Lovers

Terry and Julie cross over the river 

Gladdened again by the sight of each other 

They're famed for their simplicity 

And it is their song that providence shuffles 

Onto my lips between splutters and sniffles 

Outstaying my welcome on the earth 

Oh, what a century! 

To live and reign 

You kneel down to navigate 

The length and the breadth of a prayer 

Long have you languished in there. 

Terry and Julie admire the sunset 

But a song removed, it's not quarter to one yet 

Though the days pass like a second hand 

Here in the front room, hooked to a contraption 

You do my ablutions and block my distraction: 

A grey matine movie 

Oh, what a century! 

To slip one's chain 

The mother of mortals 

Constant and stable and scared 

Spinning the bad news she heard. 

You kneel down to navigate 

The lone, level sands of a prayer 

But nobody's in the know 

Nobody's in my confidence.
