a moment's waiting

beyond the shades another game's in play
not one for moral questions or for sense
eternal returning of the same day

choose now you fool either you go or stay
no chance or choice of sitting on the fence
beyond the shades another game's in play

anxious to westward for last solar ray
a shining cloud is neither warm nor dense
eternal returning of the same day

allow a speech and you deny the way
to those for whom the meaning's always tense
beyond the shades another game's in play

nothing's immortal all must soon decay
to hurry forward is to hurry hence
eternal returning of the same day

tempers and ropes are made to thin and fray
against the coming storm there's no defence
beyond the shades another game's in play
eternal returning of the same day
