Upon the altar to beyond / there lies the low eternity / no one need to gets off / it is the same now for the sower and the seed / there is enough now so take all that you need / no one needs to get off / this is the low eternity / there’s no need to be swayed / there is enough shade from every tree / these days when the wind has blown / then we go out and gather what we see/ there’s no need to be afraid / this is the way it will always be / no one needs to get off / this is the low eternity / some men need to stand outside the station / others need to lie beside the beach / somewhere where a poor man just can reach / up into the low eternity / no one needs to get off / this is the low eternity / no one needs to get off.

Six o’clock in the morning / in twenty minutes I’ll be gone / I can’t believe that time is over / and there’s no way to keep it on / you watch the moment slip away / and count the seashells on the beach / but there’s no way of getting over / the star that swings just out of reach / I tipped my bottle to a stranger / that stranger soon became a friend / many a story he surrendered / about the way it might’ve been / if every love was beautiful / and every lesson he could teach / but there’s no way of getting over / the star that swings just out of reach / and then he headed for the pavement / my friend looked up and came undone / his head was twisted in amazement / his heart filled up for everyone / he stretched his finger to the sky / and saw that pie just like a peach / there’s no way of getting over / the star that swings just out of reach / there’s no way of getting over / the star that swings just out of reach.
