Afternoon Song Lyrics - New Model Army

Time passes slow, fields stretch out across open acres 

Time passes slow, the giant steps of mankind touch us so little in the great lands 

Our little storm whirls away out across calm wide oceans 

In this sacred breath, you and I falling for ever and ever and ever 

The news peoples' dull voices bring the distant tidings of great disasters, politicians speaking in 

Some solemn tone, the crisis of a different world, 

The panic of the thousands, the destiny of millions, so far away 

Time passes slow, sunlight sparkles on rippling waters 

And the trees they sway, I don't believe in the things that I can't see 

Our little storm whirls away out across calm wide oceans 

In this sacred breath, you and I falling for ever and ever and ever
