The Seasons Wheels
It sounded dry around us and there are no clouds today
And it hurts my throat to talk
And I'm afraid I'm afraid
There's dust inside my nostrils and smoke upon my eyes
But I resolve to stay the searching child
Butter smells come pleasant as we travel on and on
The dancing yellow rhythm of the highway lights will form
Shadow dances shadow on my snow clean page
As the song and step and sentence seems to age
It's all in the days changing
The seasons wheels
The birds and buildings and all of these
In this haggard old condition I feel stronger
I feel strong
I gain a different focus when the hours of night are long
It is for you my maker that I spend my mortal days
As you pursue to guide me through this haze
As I say
As I say
I love my friends, believe me
I rarely say it though
For us they have their uses
But they also deal their blows
Daily I try to act more upon my dreams
How bright a soul forgiven, bleeds
How bright a soul forgiven, bleeds
Are we getting any nearer
Are the stories making sense?
Are you hanging in there with us
Or have you fallen off the fence?
We saw a comet fly last year and I cried
I know that sometimes promises appear upon the tide
Sands draw nearer and draw nearer by the day
I write down what I feel but cannot say
So I say
Say
Sometimes you might see it in the eyes of a child
who grows big pretty flowers while his parents watch and smile
Unhindered and unpoisoned by the ways of main street
Big mans shoes on tiny feet
It's all in the days changing
The seasons wheels
The birds and buildings
And all of these
It's all in the days changing
The seasons wheels
The birds and buildings and all of these
Help me say
Classic Flowers... just BRILLIANT in every way ~
My absolute favorite Hothouse Flowers song! I asked Liam to play it at the Devenish in Belfast in the early 2000s and he said he didnt know it!
Still reckon its their BEST MOST AWESOME SONG. Love, love, love it. In fact gonna be the funeral song, so everyone can foot tap along. Liam and Lads kindly enough played it in Brisbane many years ago at the Tivoli, very lucky, as he said it took E for effort to play live. Actually had other fans in the audience thanking me for requesting it. Laughing.
I second that. What a song ...
Am thrilled almost every time i hear it.
This was a "B" side?? .. I mean they have many BEST songs, but this is also one of their VERY BEST Songs...
Very nice.
