the stars at night

old time gone with old religion

Em G F C
prickled interest seizing pride

the night the music upped and died , died .

C
been listening all the night – long
Am F
been listening all the day .
C
will i listen for the one you know
Am F
will i listen , will i pray?
C
it’s A – coming all the night long
Am F
it’s A – coming in the day
C G C F
it’s blowing through my stone ears , whistling its way .

left the song behind old chums
the faintest trace of what’s to come
what’s behind and what is near
banished by a suckling ear .
coffee lustre
lend me mine
nothing came with fear and wine , wine .
been listening all the night long
been listening all the day
will i listen for the one you know
will i listen , will i pray?
it’s a coming all the night – long
its A – coming in the day
its blowing through my stone ears , whistling it’s way .
the music’s gone
the music’s dead
the music went and in its stead
a single song , a chorus strong
a symphony , songs right or wrong
the band’s rehearsing , the radios off
the silence is everything , hold that cough .
been listening all the night – long
been listening all the day
will i listen to the one you know
will i listen , will i pray?
it’s A – coming all the night – long
it’s A – coming in the day
it’s blowing through my stone ears , whistling it’s way .
