elvis costello & allen toussaint – ascension day lyrics
[verse]
not a soul was stirring
not a bird was singing, at least not within my hearing
i was five minutes past caring
standing in the road just staring
thought i heard somebody pleading
i thought i heard someone apologize
some fell down weeping
others shook their fists up at the skies
and those who were left
seemed to be wearing disguises
now there’s a queen in waiting
not enough loving and too much hating
for the prince hidden within her man
always seems to be hesitating
he said, “let her go, let her go, god bless her”
“she hasn’t been gone long enough for me to miss her”
“except every minute of every hour of every day
when i wish i could possess her”
40 days p-ssed by
40 alibis
so carry on… that way
and in time… you’ll pay
but we’ll all be together
come ascension day
not a hound was howling
or whimpering or prowling
now the wind had departed
not a leaf was hanging on the tree like when it started
but i know they will return
like they’ve never gone away
come ascension day
