The old folks are sleeping in their houses where

They're keeping


All the sounds of blood and weeping from a stone age


Long ago

Did you think I've been deceiving when I told you I was


Leaving


In all the letters you're receiving full of things that

You don't know

Daddy will you pass the spoon.

Daddy I'll be an old man soon


Daddy can you hear this tune?


It is the tune of the room of forgiveness

And it's wrapped around the moon


Wrapped around the moon
So don't consider me uncouth for in the vineyards of


Your youth


You'll find some traces of the truth right where you

Left them when you died


If I appear to act unusual just consult your family


Bible

Even Christ lived by survival. Day to day he lived to


Hide
For the statues of the dead are but the symbols in your


Head


Of the simple things he said to the people in the

Street


And the cliches you abide in or the prisons that we


Cried in

But I've had my final hiding it's time to stand on my


Own feet
Daddy will you pass the spoon.


Daddy I'll be an old man soon


Daddy can you hear this tune?It is the tune of the room of forgiveness

And it's wrapped around the moon


Wrapped around the moon
Daddy will you pass the spoon.


Daddy I'll be an old man soon


Daddy can you hear this tune?

It is the tune of the room of forgiveness


And it's wrapped around the moon


Wrapped around the moon
Now the sun is slowly rising over this town I've been

Despising


And I can hear the local choir sing 'If glory to The

Lord'

The preacher's heart grows feeble as he mumbles in his


Steeple

Before the gathering of the people and the strumming of


The chord
At the last bend of the highway you can say I did it my

Way


As you approach the final gateway passed the stone

Faced lion's stare

And I'm sure that I'll see you there if the weather


Stays this fair

I will complete my trip and cut my hair simply ready

To do anything and travel everywhere
Daddy will you pass the spoon.


Daddy I'll be an old man soon

Daddy can you hear this tune?

It is the tune of the room of forgiveness

And it's wrapped around the moon


Wrapped around the moon
