Days of Future Passed Lyrics

The Day Begins
Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which is right,
And which is an illusion.
Pinprick holes in a colourless sky,
Let insipid figures of light pass by,
The mighty light of ten thousand suns,
Challenges infinity and is soon gone.
Night time, to some a brief interlude,
To others the fear of solitude.
Brave Helios wake up your steeds,
Bring the warmth the countryside needs.


Dawn: Dawn Is A Feeling
Dawn is a feeling, a beautiful ceiling,
The smell of grass just makes you pass into a dream.

You're here today, no future fears,
This day will last a thousand years, if you want it to.

You look around you, things they astound you,
So breathe in deep, you're not asleep open your mind.

You're here today, no future fears,
This day will last a thousand years, if you want it to.

Do you understand that all over this land there's a feeling?
In minds far and near, things are becoming clear with a meaning.

Now that you're knowing, pleasure starts flowing,
It's true life flies, faster than eyes could ever see.

You're here today, no future fears,
This day will last a thousand years, if you want it to.


The Morning: Another Morning
Balloons flying, children sighing,
What a day to go kite flying!
Breezes cool, away from school,
Cowboys fighting out a duel.
Time seems to stand quite still
In a child's world it always will.

Fishes biting, so exciting,
Lunch time sounds so inviting.
Angler Bill, he gets a thrill
Sitting, watching bobbing quill.

Time seems to stand quite still
In a child's world it always will.

Yesterday's dreams are tomorrow's sighs.
Watch children playing, they seem so wise.

Mary Green, today's a queen,
One thousand dollies are a dreaming.
Cotton frocks and golden locks,
Her palace is an orange box.

Time seems to stand quite still
In a child's world it always will.


Lunch Break: Peak Hour
I see it all through my window it seems,
Never failing, like millions of bees.
All life is run, no time to be won,
Only to do what can be done

Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour.

Minds are subject to what should be done.
Problem solved time cannot be won.
One hour a day, one hour a night,
Sees crowds of people
Home in full flight.

Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour.

It makes me want to run out
And tell them, they've got time.
Take a step back out and look in,
I've found out, I've got time.

Minds are subject to what should be done,
Problem solved, time cannot be won.
One hour a day, one hour a night,
Sees crowds of people
Home in full flight.

Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour.


The Afternoon: Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)
Tuesday afternoon
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way.
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.
Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.

I'm looking at myself reflections of my mind,
It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind.
So gently swaying through the fairyland of love,
If you'll just come with me you'll see the beauty of
Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way.
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.
Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.


Evening: Time To Get Away
Evening has come to pass,
The time of day doesn't last.
Evening, has earned its place today,
I'm tired of working away.

Working, living it brings,
Only way to have those things.
Toiling has bought too many tears,
Turn 'round all those past years.

Evening time to get away.
Evening time to get away.
Evening time to get away.
'Til next day.

Live all you people, you can't see where you're at,
It doesn't really hurt you, so that can't be bad.

Live all you people, you can't see where you're at,
It doesn't really hurt you, so that can't be bad.

Evening time to get away.
Evening time to get away.


Evening: The Sun Set
When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.
See it with your eyes, Earth's re-energized
By the sun's rays everyday.
Take a look out there, planets everywhere.

When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.
Shadows on the ground, never make a sound,
Fading away in the sunset.
Night has now become day for everyone.

I can see it all, from this great height,
I can feel the sun, slipping out of sight.
And the world still goes on through the night.


Twilight Time
Twilight time to dream awhile,
In veils of deepening blue.
As fantasy strides, over colourfull skies,
Of form disappearing from view.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase,
Of notes that are rich and so true.
An aerial display by the firefly brigade,
Dancing to tunes no one knew.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

Building castles in the air,
Whistling to the wind.
As nature bows down her head,
See what tomorrow brings.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

Bats take to wing like puppets on string,
Prancing through cool evening air.
In a sightless glide, no reason to hide
Away from the sun's blinding stare.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile.


The Night: Nights In White Satin
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.

'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.

Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.

And I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.

'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.

'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.


Late Lament
Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bed-sitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,
Lonely man cries for love and has none,
New mother picks up and suckles her son,
Senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which is right,
And which is an illusion.
