Eyeless in Holloway lyrics

There's a man at hand, there's a way between

The sinking sand and a crooked dream

And collared off at the modern age of nine

Summoned up for walking down the line

They lost eyes in old city streets

Where the funeral pyres burned the last of the meek

He filled his boots and he tipped his cap

And a root-to-toot with the boss and that

And told a girl of the summer by the sea

Said to her, "Would you like to go with me?"

When there's time and the conquered drops

And the signal's changed and the heart has stopped

And in with changes, always out with time

Nothing left but walking down the line

They lost eyes in old city streets

Where the funeral pyres burned the last of the meek

Drag your loose nets through the den

And come out less but sporting when

A mould to fit and you'd be feeling now

She is "when" and he is always "how"

Then her sweetness and his sweetness ended

And the fury's swimming till the fury's bended

And lost in "all might be" to lost in time

What "join the dots" might be to walk the line

They lost eyes in old city streets

Where the funeral pyres burned the last of the meek...
