Intro: C5 F5 A5 F5

     E5        C5
The song's a thing
     E5          C5
And this one's thin
      F5          C5
From traveling light
      F5       C5
The stars at night
      E5        C5      B5    E5
Have seen old time to new erosion
 F5         C5        F5     C5
Old time gone with old religion

   E5       G5        F5       C5
Prickled interest seizing pride
      E5        G5     F5         C5     A5  C5  A5 G5
The night the music upped and died, died.

        C5 
Been listening all the night-long
        A5              F5
Been listening all the day.
     C5                            
Will I listen for the one you know
        A5              F5
Will I listen, will i pray?
         C5                
It's a-coming all the night long
         A5            F5
It's a-coming in the day
          C5                G5            C5          F5 
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.
