Everyone I’ve ever known Lives far across a sea My brave new world can be old and cold But you struck a chord in me Dad’s time, it’s six AM He’s shaking off the sleep Here, the sun’s going down The rays are falling at your feet The rays are falling at your feet We passed the homes and the orange groves To the top of that ancient hill The marble graves that lay below Are always being filled Dad’s time, it’s six AM He’s shaking off the sleep Here, the sun’s going down The rays are falling at your feet The rays are falling at your feet I don’t know what the answers are I don’t know if you’ll stay I don’t know when the top will blow We have to live it come what may Four feet pad on the cobbled stones Two bodies swim in the sea One more drink, then we’ll head into town In this city I’ve found peace Dad’s time, it’s six AM He’s shaking off the sleep Here, the sun’s going down The rays are falling at your feet The rays are falling at your feet
