It's Good Friday on the calendar and I'm on the train
The endless train that brings us to and from
The friends who eased the pain
Of loneliness in gardens,
The agony, the groan
The moment when you realise that you stand alone

For Good Friday never changes
We change the number of the year
Add one to the last one, then say, dear oh dear
How time changes how time changes

Were you the one who tried to change the evil
That you found
Or did you stand uncertain at the edge of the crowd
As he was led away
You didn't raise the hand
The once had flung the palm
In the waters of indifference you stooped to wash your hands

And now we've reached the station see how the people run
Laughing and crying to and from
The friends who ease the pain
Of loneliness in gardens
The agony the groan
The moment when you realise that you stand alone.
