lyrics

Days come falling down
Like a wounded man, like a wounded man
Hours tossed off the shelf
Like an emptied dram, like an emptied dram
Minutes pinched till they bleed
like some fool in a scam
Seconds left unsaid
we don't speak of the damned
and Days come falling down
like a wounded man, like a wounded man

Last Tuesday, an old man died
at eighty five, yeah one hell of a life
Said he smoked, said he drank
Rolled into Berlin on a tank
Two hours earlier, bathed in her parents tears
a nine year old girl felt her final fear
Now old, old or young
you ain't got a chance, no you ain't got a chance

But you my darling ease the time
and you caress my mind
I was screaming at the sirens
I was howling at the dogs
the scrape of metal on metal
I was singing along
'til you, 'til you
eased the time
