lyrics
It is bitter consolation
And the writing is on the wall
There are but tiny steps to take
And so very far to fall.
It never quite seems enough
The stricken tears and labored sighs
In strained repentance offered up
To princely, sympathetic skies.
And with each step there is a pause
And great the heart-break for the soul
The lonesome traveler who breaks
And moves so slowly in this world.
And for this reason mind the wretch
That moves toward God so ponderously
Who stops and weeps at every step
In chorus with our history.
It's a bitter consolation
My tortured writing's on the wall
There are but tiny steps to take
From great heights to fortunate fall.
And with each step there is a pause
And great the heart-break for the soul
The lonesome traveler who breaks
And moves so slowly in this world.
And with each step there is a pause
And great the heart-break for the soul
The lonesome traveler who breaks
And moves so slowly in this world.
And the writing is on the wall
There are but tiny steps to take
And so very far to fall.
It never quite seems enough
The stricken tears and labored sighs
In strained repentance offered up
To princely, sympathetic skies.
And with each step there is a pause
And great the heart-break for the soul
The lonesome traveler who breaks
And moves so slowly in this world.
And for this reason mind the wretch
That moves toward God so ponderously
Who stops and weeps at every step
In chorus with our history.
It's a bitter consolation
My tortured writing's on the wall
There are but tiny steps to take
From great heights to fortunate fall.
And with each step there is a pause
And great the heart-break for the soul
The lonesome traveler who breaks
And moves so slowly in this world.
And with each step there is a pause
And great the heart-break for the soul
The lonesome traveler who breaks
And moves so slowly in this world.
