In The Passage Lyrics

There's a ring around the moon

   tonight

And a chill in the air

And a fire in the stars that

   hang -- so near;

                so near.

There's a sound in the wind that

   blows

Through the wild mountain holds

Like the sighs of a thousand crying

   souls;

   Crying souls --

There's a time when the traveller

   is fated to find

That insight has turned his gaze

   behind -- behind

And the steps taken yesterday

Will beckon again

And lead to his weary journey's

   end -- journey's end.

And in the passage

From the cradle to the grave

We are born, madly dancing

Rushing headlong through the

   crashing of the days

We run on and on

Without a backwards glance

We run on and on

Without a backwards glance.

But I cast my fate with the

   wife of Lot

I turned my gaze around

Knowing neither what was sought

   nor what was to be found

Heeding weakness, feeding

   strength

Life at length is frail

I seek again the river's source

   through time's dark shadowed veil.

In the fast fading centurywe spin through the years

I pray that our failing vision

   clears -- our vision clears.

And in the passage

From the cradle to the grave

We are born, madly dancing

Rushing headlong through the

   crashing of the days

We run on and on

Without a backwards glance

We run on and on

Without a backwards glance.

The places dash and the faces

   dart

Like fishes in a dream

Hiding 'neath the murky banks

   of long forgotten streams

The lines of life are never long

   when seen from end to end

The future's never coming

   and the past has never been.

There's a ring around the moon

   tonight

And a chill in the air

And a fire in the stars that

   hang -- so near;

                so near.
