Been Listening (Demo)

The song's a thing
And this one's thin
From traveling light
The stars at night

Have seen old time
To new erosion
Old time gone
With old religions

Prickled interest seizing pride
The night the music upped and died
Died...

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
It's a-coming in the day
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 beer 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
It's a-coming in the day
It's blowing through my stone ears
Whistling its way

The music's gone
The music's dead
The music went
And, in its stead

A single song
A chorus strong
A symphony
Sans right or wrong

The band's rehearsing, the radio's off
The silence is everything, hold that cough
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 its way
