oysterband – wonders are passing lyrics

[verse 1]
we’re on our own now, no one to lean on
no one to save us from ourselves
we stole fire, we burned the house down
where do we run to when there’s no place else?

[verse 2]
was it from hunger or rage for glory
we made war upon the world?
the hour is late now and getting later
for everything that can’t be bought or sold

[chorus]
we could be walking in mountains of memory
swimming in rivers of delight
treasurеs of earth are slipping through our fingers
wondеrs are passing tonight
wonders are passing tonight

[verse 3]
we thought the party would last forever
some god had laid it on for free
now we face the day hungover
still afraid that there’s a bill to pay

[verse 4]
and in the end we are masters of nothing
just here for shelter for a while
leave off your greed, no more dominion
bind these wounds and give them time to heal
[chorus]
we could be walking in mountains of memory
swimming in rivers of delight
treasures of earth are slipping through our fingers
wonders are passing tonight
wonders are passing tonight

[instrumental break]

[chorus]
we could be walking in mountains of memory
(walking in mountains of memory)
swimming in rivers of delight (swimming in rivers of delight)
treasures of earth are slipping through our fingers
wonders are passing tonight
wonders are passing tonight
we could be walking in mountains of memory
(walking in mountains of memory)
swimming in rivers of delight (swimming in rivers of delight)
treasures of earth are slipping through our fingers
wonders are passing tonight
wonders are passing tonight
walking in mountains of memory
swimming in rivers of delight
treasures of earth are slipping through our fingers
wonders are passing tonight
wonders are passing, goodnight
