The Luminary Clock

[melodic intro] [verse] I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked in rain and back again. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. [pre-chorus] I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, [chorus] Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been acquainted with the night. But not to call me back or say good-by One luminary clock against the sky [verse] When I am dead Sing no sad songs for me; Plant no roses at my head or shady cypress tree: Be the grass above me With showers wet; I shall not see the shadows or feel the rain; I shall not hear the nightingale Sing as if in pain: And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget. [guitar solo] [pre-chorus] I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, [chorus] Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been acquainted with the night. But not to call me back or say good-by One luminary clock against the sky [guitar solo] [pre-chorus] I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, [chorus] Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been acquainted with the night. But not to call me back or say good-by One luminary clock against the sky [outro]
