remembrance day

remembrance day

this is remembrance day
the rain's falling down
wearing november grey
we uncover lost ground

the wind it is getting cold
there's a knife in the heir
and when it all turns to snow
a new world's lying there

they say the older that you get
the better you used to be
nothing improves the past like time
i'm looking forward to a memory
i just get better
i hear the sound of no hands clappin'
i remember things
before they even happen

it's so glorious oh, so glorious

after remembrance day
the future is noo
put your hands in the cold cold clay
and make something true

they say ...
i remember things
before they even happen

it's so glorious oh, so glorious

they say...

the snow is a wedding dress
mother earth father sun
time will take it off again
and make a new one

they say the older that you get
the better you used to be
nothing improves the past like time
i'm looking forward to a memory

my eyes just keep improving
i can see over life's wall
even though it's true
i can't get focused straight at all

it's so glorious oh, so glorious
