Dedicate song lyrics Afternoon Song by New Model Army

Time passes slow - fields stretch out across open acres
time passes slow - the giant steps of mankind touch us so little in the great lands
our little storm whirls away out across calm wide oceans
in this sacred breath, you and i falling for ever and ever and ever
the news peoples' dull voices bring the distant tidings of great disasters, politicians speaking in some solemn tone, the crisis of a different world, the panic of the thousands, the destiny of millions - so far away
time passes slow - sunlight sparkles on rippling waters
and the trees they sway - i don't believe in the things that i can't see
our little storm whirls away out across calm wide oceans
in this sacred breath, you and i falling for ever and ever and ever
