Barclay James Harvest - Negative Earth Lyrics lyrics

rate me

For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world

Didn't anybody know, didn't anyone suppose

That my life up here was slowly drifting by

And all I've got to do is sit and cry

The Earth is so clear and it's simply a reach away

I just had to laugh today but the news it seemed to say

That my life once full was surely running dry

I prayed a while but then I had to cry

Look in my eyes - I know

That man is surely just a man

It's no surprise - I know

The road is far too long

And life too short to carry on

For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world

Here in syncopated time, while my tangled web of rhyme

Dangles aimlessly, time drips slowly by

And all I've got to do is sit and cry

Look in my eyes - I know

That man is surely just a man

It's no surprise - I know

The road is far too long

And life too short to carry on
