a simple moment then

if we could find a moment just to sigh
you'd understand just what the passage said
a kind of urgent light would fill your head

there's nothing left for you or us to try
we've seen the creature that inspires most dread
if we could find a moment just to sigh

we seem to be at all times under eye
whether we're thinking or acquiring bread
there's nowhere we could choose to be instead
if we could find a moment just to sigh
