Century

  • I fought my feelings and got in the way
    Could've been easier like a decade of days
    Projection, young marriage, lighting the stage
    I wanted feelings, that got in my own way

    Then wrote that letter that had nothing to say
    Staccato vision like a kingdom of days
    All lonely, or not lonely, century away
    But still a vision as if help's on its way

    Someone who will lead you to someone
    Who will lead you to someone
    Who will lead you to the one
    At the end of the century

    The air is clearer a decade away
    Singing to a mountain that was empty all along
    All lonely, young marriage lighting the way
    She wanted feelings that got in her own way

    Someone who will lead you to someone
    Who will lead you to someone
    Who will lead you to the one
    At the end of the century

    Someone who will lead you to someone
    Who will lead you to someone
    Who will lead you to the one
    At the end of the century

    Someone who will lead you to someone
    Who will lead you to someone
    Who will lead you to the one
    At the end of the century

    A century, how long is that?
    Three billion, one hundred and fifty five million
    Nine hundred and seventy three thousand, six hundred seconds
    Eight hundred and seventy six million hours
    Or thirty six thousand, five hundred days
    Almost as long as one of those endless dark nights of the soul
    Those nights that never end (century)
    When you believe you'll never see the sun rise again
    When a single second feels like a century

    A century
    A century
    A century
    A century
    A century
    A century
    A century
    A century
    A century Writer/s: Brian Lebarton, Jarvis Branson Cocker, Leslie Feist
