Father plays music with friends at the end of the house
They're high on cake and the quartets of Schubert and Strauss
They miss some notes, but they all meet up at the end
When they've finished laughing they nod and they play it again
Auntie Nell sees a picture, a square of red floating in black
She turns to her husband, says: Hell Dave I could paint that
On to the next one "Blue divided by Blue"
But Dave he can't move he is trembling hard in his shoes
He's in the land of sandless hours
Last seen a moment ago
Not sure of the world he is more of the world
And as old as the world is old
Mum sees a play where the lovers make the wrong choice
She's pinned to her seat by a note in the actress's voice
She walks home three miles and doesn't notice the rain
She can't afford it but next day she goes again
This time she knows from the start it's a fight to the death
She's pinned to her seat by the sound of the audience's breath
She walks home three miles and doesn't notice the cold
She coughs for a week as the city around her turns gold
She's in the land of sandless hours
Last seen a moment ago
Not sure of the world she is more of the world
And as old as the world is old
Brother reads Tolstoy aloud in cell A-eighty-two
He's in for crimes that I cannot repeat in this room
He likes the Russians, everything else is a blur
Lights out at eleven, he lies in the dark with the words
The family has gathered to say their goodbyes to Aunt Nell
She was hiding an easter egg under the couch when she fell
Father plays music with friends at the back of the church
They're missing some notes, but we all join in on the search
We're in the land of sandless hours
Last seen a moment ago
Not sure of the world we are more of the world
And as old as the world is old
