Man Of The Hour (Milan 2006-09-17) Songtext
von Pearl Jam

Tidal waves don′t beg forgiveness
Crashed and on their way
Father he enjoyed collisions, others walked away
A snowflake falls in May

And the doors are open now
As the bells are ringing out
'Cause the man of the hour
Is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now


Nature has its own religion
Gospel from the land
Father ruled by long division
Young men they pretend
Old men comprehend

And the sky breaks at dawn
Shedding light upon this town
They′ll all come around
'Cause the man of the hour
Is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now

And the road
The old man paved
The broken seams along the way
The rusted signs, left just for me
He was guiding me, love, his own way


Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down
I feel that this is just goodbye for now
