We Trust

WE TRUST (reworking of original instrumental track, In prog we trust, by Silvio Vinci) They sold tomorrow by the pound, We queued around the square. I bought an hour without a sound And spent it standing there. The man behind the counter smiled, “Your change is on its way.” He counted out my younger years And called it one more day. I want the time they couldn’t sell, The hour that never rang a bell. A little room to change my mind, A life the numbers can’t define. A blackbird landed on the clock Above the market gate. It sang across the closing bell And made the whole town wait. You laughed and put your watch away, I gave the hour back. We took the long way through the fields And never checked the map. I want the time they couldn’t sell, The hour that never rang a bell. A little room to change my mind, A life the numbers can’t define. Take the long way. Let it bend. Some things begin Where the numbers end.
