terry scott taylor - waning days lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
barbarians camped inside the gates
careening clown cars, all without brakes
the father of lies in slinky drag arrives
to take charge of all the venomous snakes
iphones: istones turned to bread
the starving mult-tudes are easily fed
down at the mall, more “blah blah blah”
feeds that beautiful face on that empty head

[chorus]
in our waning days
we’ve gotta trust in a lover
in our waning days
to help us go on loving others

[verse 2]
laugh out loud ’bout the boring crowds
those bed-sheeted saints sitting up on clouds
it’s the same kind of joke that’s a hope that floats
down the river styx, one big party boat
little tin gods with a jones for praise
the priests of creation with a world to save
how proud some are of their right kind of car
driving around in a locked and gilded cage

[chorus]
in our waning days
we’ve gotta trust in a lover
(a lover who will not let go)
in our waning days
to help us go on loving others
(a lover who will bring us home)

[bridge]
(one lover won’t let go)
(one lover who will bring us home)
(one lover won’t let go)
(one lover who will bring us home)

[verse 3]
grandstanding hauteur in a professor’s suit
a blowhard with a tiny h-rn and little toot
more enlightened than christ with ready advice
for any sycophant who finds him astute
homesick wanderers craving rest
clinging to hope as long as they have breath
hearts in waiting, antic-p-ting
the arrival of someone who never left

[chorus]
in our waning days
we’ve gotta trust in a lover
(a lover who will not let go)
in our waning days
to help us go on loving others
(a lover who will bring us home)
in our waning days
we’ve gotta trust in a lover
(a lover who will not let go)
in our waning days
to help us go on loving others
(a lover who will bring us home)

[outro]
in our waning days
(we need a lover who will not let go)
in our waning days
(we need a lover who will bring us home)
in our waning days
(we need a lover who will not let go)
in our waning days
(we need a lover who will bring us home)
in our waning days
we need a lover
we need a lover
