Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
I take my time I am the boon of a sound nation My spirit whines It feeds my arms as they carry on And the past calls And the past calls I hide my fear I take her hand in a quiet hour And tell my stories To sots and fools who done drown their pain And the past calls And the past calls around Only to hold you in my mind I cannot be the soldier all the time Only to hold you in my mind I cannot be the soldier all the time And the cannon lights And the halls all shivering And a fool inside And the bands all blasting stone Cause I'm a poor boy And I'm better on my knees And I'll bite the sound Of a brother's injury And the rain of fire And the broken tambourines And the heat of lies Will deface the ivory And I will not stand Like a puppet with a mark No I will not stand For a terror in the dark And the past calls And the past calls And the past calls And the past calls around Only to hold you in my mind I cannot be the soldier all the time Only to hold you in my mind I cannot be the soldier all the time Only to hold you in my mind I cannot be the soldier all the time Only to hold you in my mind I cannot be the soldier all the time
