Song of the Day for Howard Kranz
Sixteenth in a series of songs for Howard and me to cover, or be inspired by, or something.
Perpetual Change
"Perpetual Change" by Yes - from The Yes Album (1971)
I see the cold mist in the night And watch the hills roll out of sight I watch in every single way, Inside out, outside in, every day The sun can warm the coldest dawn And move the movement on the lawn I learn in every single day, Inside out, outside in, every way And there you are, Making it up but you're sure that it is a star, And boy you'll see It's an illusion shining down in front of me, And then you'll say Even in time we shall control the day, When what you'll see Deep inside base controlling you and me And one peculiar point I see, As one of many ones of me As truth is gathered, I rearrange, Inside out, outside in, inside out, outside in, Perpetual change And there you are, Saying we have the moon, so now the stars, When all you see Is near disaster gazing down on you and me, And there you're standing, Saying we have the whole world in our hands, When all you'll see, Deep inside the world's controlling you and me You'll see perpetual change You'll see perpetual change And there you are, Making it up but you're sure that it is a star, And boy you'll see It's an illusion shining down in front of me, And then you'll say Even in time we shall control the day, When all you'll see Deep inside base controlling you and me As mist and sun are both the same, We look on as pawns of their game They move to testify the day, Inside out, outside in, inside out, outside in, All of the way Ah, ah
