Testo The Lag Song

The Lag Song


When I was a young lad, sometimes I'd wander
What happened to time when it past
Then one day I found out, that time just lands in prison
And their it is held fast
When I was a young man used to go courting
And dreamed of the moon and the stars
The moon is still shining, the dreams they are all broken
On these hard iron bars

Look out of the window over the roofs their
And over the wall see the sky
Just one flying leap and you could make your get away
If only you could fly

The prison is sleeping; the night watch is keeping
It's watches over seven hundred men
And behind every cell door, a sleeping lag is dreaming
O, to be free again
Go write me a letter, addressed to my number
But say you remember my name
So I'll be reminded of how the world outside goes
And feel a man again

Got time on my hand, I've got time on my shoulder
Got plenty of time on my mind
There's no summer or winter, when once you land inside here
Just that old prison bars

When I was a young lad, sometimes I'd wander
What happened to time when it past
Then one day I found out, that time just lands in prison
And their it is held fast
