Life in the time of captivity


How was I to know?
Kinship there in the reverie
It’s a climbing wind
We go through
Two by two
Not asking why
How was I to sing?
Happens all of the time they say
You and I, supposed to know
Each other
Better than the clouds these days
It’s a madding century
Clearly
Honest
Always

Life in the time of captivity
Love in the time of sanctuary
Life in the time of captivity
Life in the time of singing songs

How was I to know?
How was I to know?
Kinship there in the reverie
Guess it goes to show
We don’t speak
Half truths each
When we have the day
It’s a climbing wind
We go through
Two by two
Not asking why
It was all a show then
Blue river true
Running through you
Always

Life in the time of captivity
Love in the time of sanctuary
Life in the time of captivity
Life in the time of singing songs

How was I to know?
How was I to know?
Some go out to Rikers in a moment's grace
I was hanging on coattails, fare thee wells
All that jiving around
Guess it goes to show
We don’t speak half truths each
When we have the day
You and I, supposed to know

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
