The Fuse Lyrics

It's coming from so far away

It's hard to say for sure

Whether what I hear is music or the wind

Through an open door

There's a fire high in the empty sky

Where the sound meets the shore

There's a long distance loneliness

Rolling out over the desert floor

And the years that I spent lost in the mystery

Fall away leaving only the sound of the drum

Like a part of me

It speaks to the heart of me

Forget what life used to be

You are what you choose to be

It's whatever it is you see

That life will become

Whatever it is you might think you have

You have nothing to lose

Through every dead and living thing

Time runs like a fuse

And the fuse is burning
Browne Jackson - The Fuse - http://motolyrics.com/browne-jackson/the-fuse-lyrics.html
And the earth is turning

Though the years give way to uncertainty

And the fear of living for nothing strangles the will

There's a part of me

That speaks to the heart of me

Though sometimes it's hard to see

It's never far from me

Alive in eternity

That nothing can kill

Oh Lord

Are there really people starving still?

Look out beyond the walls of Babylon

How long will their needs go unfilled

I want to say right now I'm going to be around

I'm going to be around

When the walls and towers are crumbling

When the towers are tumbling down

And I will tune my spirit to the gentle sound

I want to hear the sound

Of the waters lapping on a higher ground

Of the children laughing
