Lyrics

Here we all are at the end of "the century of beauty lost"
We greedily ate what you gave us, the rest we tossed
We've trapped all your rivers, paved every pass
Pulled at your sky till we caused it to rip
But you've got jimi hendrix so lets call it an even split

I've met a girl who has turned my whole world upside down
The stars I once stretched for, now litter the ground
I am cursed by too little, or is it too much belief
In the strength of another man's words
But I've got a girl, thank you lord

Here we all are at the start of another thousand years
All those love stories, yet to be told
Ours is this river asleep at our feet
Blessed by this wet autumn day
Here we all are..
