[00:19.609]Standing firm on this stony ground[00:23.738]The wind blows hard, pulls these clothes around[00:27.748]I harbour all the same worries as most[00:32.069]The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost[00:37.480]I wrestle with an outlook on life[00:41.457]That shifts between darkness and shadowy light[00:45.772]I struggle with words for fear that they'll hear[00:50.483]But Orpheus sleeps on his back, still dead to the world[01:00.449]Sunlight falls, my wings open wide[01:03.607]There's a beauty here I cannot deny[01:08.631]And bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs[01:12.617]Are just so many people I knew never cared[01:18.327]Down below on the wreck of the ship[01:21.599]Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret[01:26.439]But the baggage is swallowed up by the tide[01:31.126]As Orpheus keeps to his promise and stays by my side[01:43.152]Tell me, I've still a lot to learn[01:50.614]Understand, these fires never stop[01:59.304]Believe me, when this joke is tired of laughing[02:08.235]I will hear the promise of my Orpheus sing[03:08.659]Sleepers sleep as we row the boat[03:12.632]Just you the weather and I gave up hope[03:17.443]But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps[03:21.508]Was fuel for the fire and straw for our backs[03:26.573]Still the voices have stories to tell[03:30.931]Of the power struggles in heaven and hell[03:35.146]But we feel secure against such mighty dreams[03:39.713]As Orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bring[04:09.235]Tell me, I've still a lot to learn[04:16.833]Understand, these fires never stop[04:27.488]Please believe, when this joke is tired of laughing[04:36.698]I will hear the promise of my Orpheus sing
