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 ease the pain, of loneliness in gardens, the agony, the groan,
The moment when you realise that you stand alone,

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


Were you the man who tried to change the evil that you found,
Or did you stand uncertain at the edge of the crowd,
As he was lead away, you didn't raise the hand, that once had flung the palm,
In the waters of indifference, you stooped and washed your hands...

Chorus

And now we've reached the station, see houw 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.

Chorus
