Afternoon Song 2 35 Lyrics - Singles - New Model Army

(Sullivan/Heaton) 

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 across the distant tidings of great 

disasters, politicians speaking in some solemn tones, 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
