cracked

[Oldrottenhead]

watched a programme on the pbs channel about the history of the telescope the other day, strange what can inspire a lyric.

                                      

a sense of place
but lost in time
we stand in awe
at what we don't understand
is it any wonder
the myth becomes the fact
it must be my imagination
or is that mirror
cracked.............

defined by superstition
blinkered by the light
we're still in the dark ages
guided by satellites
the stars reveal their story
but that's too much to catch
a view of the universe
in a mirror about to
crack............

a waste of faith
don't hesitate
our lives our worth
we dedicate
don't stop to ponder
the myth becomes the fact
it must be where i'm looking from
but that mirror
looks
cracked.....................

a sense of place
but lost in time
we stand in awe
at what we don't understand

I'm very easily distracted at the moment and missed as bit somewhere but love the song, great feel , will need another listen to dive into the lyrics, (I will be back with an attention span!) love the performance though!!!!

Lovely song. The strat's got a lovely deep sound to it. Loved the ping-pong echo - that's really effective. When it first comes in, its quiet, and you're not sure if you've heard it or you've imagined it - and I really, really dig that - got that one to perfection. Great job.
