The Long Phrase Lyrics

You wonder if a song

Can be one phrase long

An endless flow

Going on and on

Like a circular breath

The spinning of earth

As Mary gives birth

Each Christmas again

The time of year when

We all make new plans

All those cycles in life

Working nine till five

Over and over

Again and again

The hearts are burning

Of young lovers yearning

For the perfect romance

We save time

We make time

We lose time after time

The seasons return

But years go by

We save time

We make time

We lose time after time

The seasons return

But years go by

Oh we kill time

We keep time

We need time flies

The seasons return

But years keep passing by
