[Verse 1]
On thin wooded grooves
To the garden of sleep
The blind shepherd's kneeling
Where the river runs deep
[Pre-Chorus]
The clear moon is low
Where cool waters rise
And young men have fallen
In soft fields of rye
No one was watching
As the boatman sat down
On banks of the river
And slipped into town
[Chorus]
Steal them for the people who are asleep
And the water burns with fire
But your day will surely come
And the people will arise
[Verse 2]
From the bloody red banks
To the dark side of town
Your children are dreaming
While the future's shut down
[Pre-Chorus]
Like stars that dissolve
In the heat of the day
Each rich man will be numbered
And carried away
[Chorus]
Steal them for the people who are asleep
And the water burns with fire
But your day will surely come
And the people will arise
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Long we
Long we sleep
Long we
Long we sleep
Long we
Long we sleep
Long we
Long we sleep
Long we
Long we sleep
Long we
Long we sleep
On thin wooded grooves
To the garden of sleep
The blind shepherd's kneeling
Where the river runs deep
[Pre-Chorus]
The clear moon is low
Where cool waters rise
And young men have fallen
In soft fields of rye
No one was watching
As the boatman sat down
On banks of the river
And slipped into town
[Chorus]
Steal them for the people who are asleep
And the water burns with fire
But your day will surely come
And the people will arise
[Verse 2]
From the bloody red banks
To the dark side of town
Your children are dreaming
While the future's shut down
[Pre-Chorus]
Like stars that dissolve
In the heat of the day
Each rich man will be numbered
And carried away
[Chorus]
Steal them for the people who are asleep
And the water burns with fire
But your day will surely come
And the people will arise
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Long we
Long we sleep
Long we
Long we sleep
Long we
Long we sleep
Long we
Long we sleep
Long we
Long we sleep
Long we
Long we sleep
