Jerolim Lyrics

Buried in the commuter crush

People are bust

Adjusted to just existing

Missing the music of their lives

And I am

One unsung among them too

Not young not old

Just bought and sold

A lost soul soldiering on

Alongside these comrades

The revolution never comes

Oh what were we taught?

How did I get caught?

When once I trembled on Jerolim

My eyes on the sea through the trees

And my shorts around my ankles

Wasn't I there?

Didn't I swear there on Jerolim

I'd not become one of the sad silent suffering crowd?

But Jerolim

Look at me now

Pacing through pines the line of my desire tight

I crossed the threshold of my fear hearing the music of my life

And there along the shore they stood

My fellow men who understood

I took their hands in gay abandon and we sang love songs

As we wandered back inland

Owning our bodies

Knowing we were free

Now all I have of Jerolim

Are memories in a body

Employed for a bad end

Who was it there

That dared on Jerolim

To not be just one of the sad silent suffering crowd?

What happened to him

Jerolim
