washington irving (uk) – the great unrest lyrics
[verse 1]
i feel the day slipping away from me
unbound, unbidden, unbound
one look from your eyes and light dies in me
i’m found, what’s been hidden i have found
[chorus]
i loved you inside out
don’t raise your voice, you don’t have to shout
take my hand, baby, be my guest
as you launch yourself for the great unrest
[verse 2]
i feel the breeze your mind is leaving me on
i shake, i shiver and shake
one night of white sand, then the red hand of dawn
i can’t take what i’ve been given, i can’t take
[chorus]
i loved you inside out
don’t raise your voice, you don’t have to shout
take my hand, baby, be my guest
as you launch yourself for the great unrest
i see people with holes in their hands
and nails in their feet trying their best to stand
bodies dying to the sound of machines
like a dance to a god you have never seen
i loved you inside out
don’t raise your voice, you don’t have to shout
take my hand, baby, be my guest
as you launch yourself for the great unrest
i see people with holes in their hands
and nails in their feet trying their best to stand
bodies dying to the sound of machines
like a dance to a god you have never seen
[coda]
you know the seasons don’t fall any more
i know the people who took us to war, oh war
