The Witness Song
4
Yeah, yeah
5
Well, well
6
I took a walk down to the port
7
Where strangers meet and do consort
8
All blinkered with desire
9
And a winter fog moved thickly on
10
A winter fog moved thickly on
11
A winter fog moved thickly on
12
Now, who will be the witness
13
When the fog's too thick to see
14
And I saw a friend beside a wall
15
Her hands were raised in supplication
16
And her face I could not see at all
17
And I raised my hands in rage
18
And brought them down again
19
And we entered through the eastern door
20
And I entered through the eastern door
21
And she entered through the eastern door
22
Now, who will be the witness
23
When you're all to blind to see
24
O yes, yes, yes
25
And time gets somewhat muddled here
26
But no matter, no matter
27
Here come the events all tumbling down
28
Now, beyond the wall was a great garden
29
Into which we passed
30
Me and my friend
31
And the place was all overgrown with weeds
32
And behold from its centre there rose a great fountain
33
The fountain with the healing waters
34
And we knelt down by the rim
35
And I dipped my hand in
36
And she dipped her hand in too
37
And I said "Are you healed?"
38
And she said "Well are you healed?"
39
And I said "Yes, I'm healed"
40
And she said "Well, yes I'm healed then too"
41
And I said "Babe, you are a liar"
42
"Babe, you are a liar"
43
"Babe, you are a liar, too"
44
Now, who will be the witness
45
When you're all to healed to see
46
And I kissed her once, I kissed her twice
47
And made my way to leave her
48
And she raised her hand up to her face
49
And brought it down again
50
I said "That gesture, it will haunt me"
51
"That gesture it will haunt me"
52
And I left there by the eastern door
53
She left there by the western door
54
Now, who will be the witness there
55
When you're blind and you can't see
56
Who will be the witness there
57
When you're all so clean and you cannot see
58
Who will be the witness there
59
When your friends are everywhere
60
Who will be the witness there
61
And your enemies have ceased to care
62
(Ad lib)
