Nothing But the Truth - Procol Harum

Nothing But the Truth
      ͳ

It seems as clear as yesterday
      ͳ ,
We saw it in a dream
      ,
but dream became insanity
      ,
an awful gaping scream
      .
So sad to see such emptiness
      ,
So sad to see such tears
      ,
And heaped up leaves of bitterness
      -
turned mouldy down the years
      ' .

Nothing but the truth.
      ͳ !
Common words in use
      .
Hard to find excuse
      -
Harder than the truth
      , ...

Like Icarus we flew too high
      , ,
We flew too near the sun
      .
They caught us in that awful glare
      ,
Our hapless throats were strung
      ,
But just before the final stroke
      , ,
They took us victims of the rope
      - ,
And cast us far beyond the deep
     
To lie in never ending sleep
      .

It seems as clear as yesterday
      , , ,
They cast us in the deep
      .
We lie in darkest night for good
      ,
Never ending sleep
      , .
A never ending bitter gloom
      ,
Whose darkness seldom clears
      .
A God forsaken emptiness
      ,
Which fills our hearts with tears
      .

Nothing but the truth.
      ͳ !
Common words in use
      .
Hard to find excuse
      -
Harder than the truth
      , ...
