[00:00.00]All This Time - Sting
[00:17.38]I looked out across
[00:21.15]The river today
[00:25.27]I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
[00:28.78]Where the seagulls play
[00:32.75]I saw the sad shire horses walking home
[00:36.65]In the sodium light
[00:40.49]Two priests on the ferry
[00:42.04]October geese on a cold winter's night
[00:47.98]And all this time the river flowed
[00:56.10]Endlessly to the sea
[01:03.15]Two priests came round our house tonight
[01:11.14]One young one old to offer prayers for the dying
[01:14.38]To serve the final rite
[01:18.22]One to learn one to teach
[01:21.99]Which was the cold wind blows
[01:26.48]Fussing and flapping in priestly black
[01:28.99]Like a murder of crows
[01:33.34]And all this time the river flowed
[01:41.36]Endlessly to the sea
[01:48.11]If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
[01:56.19]I'd bury the old man
[01:59.47]I'd bury him at sea
[02:03.87]Blessed are the poor for they shall inherit the earth
[02:12.13]Better to be poor than a fat man
[02:14.37]In the eye of a needle
[02:18.92]And as these words were spoken I swore
[02:22.73]I hear The old man laughing
[02:26.25]'What good is a used up world and how could it be
[02:29.93]Worth having'
[02:33.78]And all this time the river flowed
[02:41.93]Endlessly like a silent tear
[02:48.70]And all this time the river flowed
[02:56.49]Father if Jesus exists
[02:59.20]Then how come he never lived here
[03:15.67]The teachers told us
[03:19.49]The Romans built this place
[03:23.47]They built a wall and a temple
[03:25.59]An edge of the empire
[03:27.15]Garrison town
[03:30.84]They lived and they died they prayed to their gods
[03:34.69]But the stone gods did not make a sound
[03:38.97]And their empire crumbled 'til all that was left
[03:42.30]Were the stones the workmen found
[03:46.08]And all this time the river flowed
[03:53.82]In the falling light of a northern sun
[04:00.83]If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
[04:08.95]Men go crazy in congregations
[04:10.74]But they only get better
[04:11.87]One by one
[04:16.92]One by one
[04:20.00]One by one
[04:24.00]One by one
[04:27.33](I looked out across)
[04:31.33]The river today
[04:35.26]I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
[04:37.98]Where the seagulls play
[04:42.78]I saw the sad shire horses walking home
