Make Way for the Living - Harry Manx

Always in and out of love somewhere

Between sleep and waking

Sanskrit songs, last night’s dream

And the toll that life’s been taking

There’s talk of mysteries and places roamed by poets

Heaven and earth are meeting and fallen tears best show it

Make way for the living

Make way for the living

Bright against a black sky

And the shadow of the moon

Make way for the living

Thinking no mystery should go unchallenged we get

Flowers bloom outside your window for no one’s sake and yet

Morning arrives so gorgeous like a great dog yawn

Somewhere on a back street night chose to become the dawn

Amber round your neck and silver on your arm

Blue light in your window girl you have a certain charm

Look now as the sky falls and rises up again

Look at yourself here in the afternoon rain
