lyrics

When history’s done with the magic ride
Towed behind a sleigh
A snow blind conductor
Grin of gold some say

Any day any day…

When history’s done on and on some say
On and on they say,
Read to me story
That hasn’t got a last page

When history’s done with the magic
Wonder what went right
Raven and the crow shake hands
And fly into the night

When it’s all done tiptoe round your room
Tiptoe round your room
Finish all your cigarettes
Your mother’s gonna be back soon.

When history’s done with the magic ride
Wonder what went wrong
Hide behind a mirror
And sing a silent song

When history’s done send the wind to me
Tell the wind I’ll hear
Sing a song for me my friend
About eternal years
