A. A. Bondy - Witness Blues lyrics

rate me

Come out to the edge where it is quiet<br />

Where the ink will drain right out of you<br />

Far below, the sea and its convictions<br />

Get broken by the beach out of your view<br />

<br />

And once there was a time to join the army<br />

And once there was a time to hear the news<br />

And once there was a time for easy silence<br />

But now the jury waits for you<br />

<br />

You're caught between the mirror and the country<br />

And caught up in a prayer of liars' words<br />

The hounds are on your scent, you must move swiftly<br />

Their spies just tellin' lies of what they heard<br />

<br />

And once there was a time to join the army<br />

And once there was a time to hear the news<br />

And once there was a time for easy silence<br />

But now the jury waits for you<br />

<br />

So make yourself a mask of chrome and heartaches<br />

And give yourself a hand to turn away<br />

Once you heard a choir when you were dreamin'<br />

And you wish you could remember it today<br />

<br />

And there may be a time to join the army<br />

And there may be a time to hear the news<br />

And there may be a time for easy silence<br />

But now the jury waits for you

<br />
