lyrics

there were moon rays diving in
the music was running wild
there was all this in her glance
that beauty no shadow could hide

we danced it out cross the hardwood floor
the kitchen the perfect scene
there were whispers that time could not endure
her kiss, was tender and sweet

tell me who’s got the eye to trace
what never lays a track
we’re all just looking for that star to chase
and to never make it back

theres aint much here
that needs much more than time
you don’t need it too clear
to drive it one more mile
down the line

my brothers riding silver trains
running ore the hills
another table to tame the days
another jar to fill

he’s plugging in for another show
give em all you got
your songs give me back what I surely know
what I once forgot

theres aint much here
that needs much more than time
you don’t need it too clear
to drive it one more mile
down the line

I heard a young man once walked up to you
and asked what was on his mind
he had kept all those commandments from his youth
you loved him, you were kind

but this man he had all sorts of wealth
and only some of that was gold
no eye could ever see all there is to sell
no eye can read your tone

hes gonna pull off what none can do
his name is Jesus Christ
hes got all of us rich young fools
right through the needles eye

theres aint much here
that needs much more than time
you don’t need it too clear
to drive it one more mile
down the line

(Matthew 19:16-22)
