Kathryn Calder - Day Long Past Its Prime lyrics

Here is a day long past its prime And it's starting to show The pavement's cold, the window's closed And there's too long a shadow And there's too long a shadow Time for a night out, time for a break Time to shake, shake it off The holy centre's coming down And I'm bracing myself And I'm bracing myself Torch the old valley Surround the hounds Light up our desolation sound Give my misery a place to rest Then let me rest in peace At last At last My perfect moment, it came and went And I stood standing still I became a fixture there Just a stone on the hill Just a stone on the hill Here is a day long past its prime

Time to put it to bed Give me the night to revive I'll be upright again I'll be upright again Torch the old valley Surround the hounds Light up our desolation sound Give my misery a place to rest Then let me rest in peace At last At last Here is a day long past its prime And it's starting to show The pavement's cold, the window's closed And there's too long a shadow And there's too long a shadow Torch the old valley Surround the hounds Light up our desolation sound Give my misery a place to rest Then let me rest in peace At last At last At last At last
