World is Turning
[Verse 1]
In the shrine on the mountain
No bells ring to call
No candles burn late and low
To greet the nightfall
And wooden saint keep watching
From their shelves on the wall
Over the changing world
[Chorus]
The world is turning
Time marching on
The field is burning
It ain't waiting for none
The sea is churning
The world we know
Is just a passing shadow
The world we know
Is just a passing shadow
[Verse 2]
In the fort on the coastline
Two guns rust away
On guard against the galleons
Of a long vanished day
Asthey gaze from their outpost
On the still quiet bay
Over the changing world
[Chorus]
The world is turning
Time marching on
The field is burning
It ain't waiting for none
The sea is churning
The world we know
Is just a passing shadow
The world we know
Is just a passing shadow
[Verse 3]
In the field on the flatlands
No spades break the soil
No hands remain to catch the fruit
Before it falls and it spoils
And the great house stares blankly
Across the years of blood and toil
Over the changing world
[Chorus]
The world is turning
Time marching on
The field is burning
It ain't waiting for none
The sea is churning
The world we know
Is just a passing shadow
The world we know
Is just a passing shadow
