He the Richmond - Jack Bruce

There comes an affair in the tides of men

When you can’t go back again

Yes there comes a darkness in the affairs of light

When you can’t hold back the night

So you go where your mind will keep

Where the rain plays the restless to sleep

On the notes of a broken piano

O the rivers and the seas and you that ride them forever

They called my name to your darkeyed ranks to leave them never

Yes my name it is written in the sand

And it can’t escape your sweeping hand

There comes a time as tides must come

When they leave, take some, leave some

Yes there comes a wave in the seas of men

When you can’t swim back again

So you go where your mind will keep

Where the wind lulls the restless to sleep

In the beams of the broken headlights
