Lyrics
Virginia Woolf
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some will strut and some will fret
See this an hour on the stage
Others will not but they'll sweat
In their hopelessness and their rage
We're all the same the men of anger
And women of the page
They published your diary
And that's how I got to know you
The key to the room of your own and a mind without end
And here's a young girl
On a kind of a telephone line through time
And the voice at the other end comes like a long lost friend
So I know I'm all right
Life will come and life will go
Still I feel it's all right
Cause I just got a letter to my soul
And when my whole life is on the tip of my tongue
Empty pages for the no longer young
The apathy of time laughs in my face
You say each life has it's place
The hatches were battened
The thunderclouds rolled and the critics stormed
The battle surrounded the white flag of your youth
If you need to know that you weathered the storm
Of cruel mortality
A hundred years later I'm sitting here living proof
So you know you're all right
(all right)
Life will come and life will go
(life will come and go)
Still you'll feel it's all right
(all right)
Someone'll get a letter to your soul
(someone gets your soul)
When your whole life is on the tip of your tongue
Empty pages for the no longer young
The apathy of time laughed in your face
Did you hear me say each life has it's place
The place where you hold me
Dark in a pocket of truth
The moon had swallowed the sun and the light of the earth
And so it was for you
When the river eclipsed your life
And sent your soul like a message in a bottle to me
And it was my rebirth
So we know we're all right
(all right)
Though life will come and life will go
(though life will come and life will go)
Still you'll feel it's all right
(all right)
Someone'll will get a letter to your soul
(someone gets your soul)
Then you know you're all right
(when my whole life is on the tip of my tongue)
Then you feel you're all right
(empty pages for the no longer young)
And your hear dry you eyes
(you said)
And you know it's all right
(each life has it's place)
And your hear dry your eyes
(you said)
And you know it's all right
(each life has it's place)
And it's all right
(it'll be all right)
