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. | ||
