《The Hours Creep On Apace》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hours Creep On Apace - Henry A Lytton/George Baker

[00:00:07] The hours creep on apace

[00:00:19] My guilty heart is quaking

[00:00:25] Oh that I might retrace

[00:00:29] The step that I am taking

[00:00:33] It's folly it were easy to be showing

[00:00:38] What I am giving up and whither going

[00:00:51] On the one hand

[00:00:52] Papa's luxurious home

[00:00:54] Hung with ancestral armour and old brasses

[00:00:57] Carved oak and tapestry from distant Rome

[00:01:00] Rare blue and white Venetian finger-glasses

[00:01:05] Rich oriental rugs luxurious sofa pillows

[00:01:10] And everything that isn't old from Gillow's

[00:01:17] And on the other a dark and dingy room

[00:01:20] In some back street with stuffy children crying

[00:01:23] Where organs yell

[00:01:25] And clacking housewives fume

[00:01:27] And clothes are hanging out all day a-drying

[00:01:30] With one cracked looking-glass to see your face in

[00:01:33] And dinner served up in a pudding basin
