Lyrics
We drink our fill and still we thirst for more, down through the long loneliness of the world
We drink our fill and still we thirst for more, we cry allelujah Emmylou, it s another round in the losing fight
Time is a brutal but a careless thief, it s another round in the losing fight
Down through the long loneliness of the world, it s another round in the losing fight, we drink our fill and still we thirst for more
time is a brutal but a careless thief
We are aging soldiers in an ancient war, we were always headed toward eternity
The seasons come and bring no sweet relief, we were always headed toward eternity
the seasons come and bring no sweet relief
and fear the silence is the voice of god
Until we behold the pain become the pearl, time is a brutal but a careless thief
Hoping for a glimpse of gaililee, it s another round in the losing fight The, who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief
they re circling low and inside tonight
sorrow is constant and the joys are brief
Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod, seeking out some half remembered shore
Sorrow is constant and the joys are brief, just one more old broken bone that cannot mend, our path is worn our feet are poorly shod
They re circling low and inside tonight, just one more old broken bone that cannot mend
we are not sailors lost out on the sea
Who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief, until we behold the pain become the pearl, oh the dragons are going to fly tonight
We cry allelujah, seeking out some half remembered shore Pearl, until we behold the pain become the pearl
as it was now and ever shall be amen
And we cry allelujah allelujah, just one more old broken bone that cannot mend
sorrow is constant and the joys are brief
And we cry allelujah allelujah, seeking out some half remembered shore, hoping for a glimpse of gaililee
Seeking out some half remembered shore, hoping for a glimpse of gaililee
It is the heart that kills us in the end, we cry allelujah
Down through the long loneliness of the world, hoping for a glimpse of gaililee, we were always headed toward eternity
They re circling low and inside tonight, they re circling low and inside tonight Harris, as it was now and ever shall be amen
it s another round in the losing fight
Out along the great divide tonight, the seasons come and bring no sweet relief, we were always headed toward eternity
and we cry allelujah allelujah
