Song Description

A beautiful and poignant song about the fleeting nature of life.

Lyrics

Looking through the window
The soul the eyes of thee
On the bottom of a hill
Sits an old willow tree

And we both sit there crying
In the age insanity
For the people and our treasures
And our helpless vanity

Separated from everyone
Closeness never comes
While the multitudes awaiting
The setting of their suns

You know the passing people watch me
As they walk along the road
And for a dime they would sell to you
All that's in their soul

Chorus:

At the Beggars Banquet everyone's the same
Don't cry if I don't call you by your name
And if doesn't matter who you are
Or who you're supposed to be
At the Beggars Banquet everyone can see
At the Beggars Banquet everybody's free

At the of the tunnel
Shines a hope of flickering light
Well I say I can see it
Although sometimes it's not so bright

You know the passing people argue
And they begin to fight
But soon they'll disappear into
The darkness of the night

Soon they'll disappear into
The nothingness of night

Chorus:

Destiny is sanity
The other way around
Sanity will find you
When they put you in the ground

You know the unimportant passing people
Go along their way
And insanity is how we live
Each everlasting day

Chorus:
