The Song (They Love To Sing) - Lyrics by Barclay James Harvest


Lyrics
The day begins
Riding a rainbow
Bow in her hand
To drive away
The night again,
Nothing has changed.
And all around
People are waking
King of them all
Has gone to rest
He passed the test,
Leaving the stage.
Time goes sailing on,
Slowly the crowd will appear,
And into their ears,
The song they'd love to sing forever.
Tomorrows come,
Tonight lives on for years.
The time has come
Follow the spotlight
Lighting the scene
Another world
The flags unfurled
Into the sky.
And in the air
Music is playing
Ingots of gold
Fall to the ground
Creating sound
Into the night.
Time goes sailing on
Into the light disappears,
And still in the ears,
The song they'd love to sing forever.
Tomorrows come,
Tonight lives on for years.
Under a setting sun
Spiriting shadows away,
Wonderous people run
Watch as the band start to play
The song they'd love to sing forever.
