Dave Dobbyn - One Proud Minute Lyrics

Dave Dobbyn Lyrics

"One Proud Minute"

All the poems melted
Along with the sweltering sky
Glass canyons shimmered empty
City workers ruin the countryside
And along your travels here
To you it's perfectly clear
People don't know how to get by
With the way the land lies
With the way the land relaxes

And all the poems melted
Cause you and I know how it felt then
And all the greatest art ever
Couldn't tear us apart now
And when the cutting wind makes lovers
Shout oaths to each other across chasms and bridges
As if shouts could be solid in air now

One proud minute there
Worlds came tumbling in but everybody's leaving home
And one proud minute there
You were onto it but everybody's moving on

And all the paintings find home again
In lover's hearts and souls
You will never be the same again
You have such passions to control now
You will find your own witness
Come on with me let's do the business
Admit to petty crime together

Dance forbidden fields in the wildest weather now
Designed for colder climes
Maybe the spring finds us I don't know
Under a changeable sun sipping songs and poems now
And the blues are made of these things
Second guessing raining down
Within a week the already brown will be lying on the beaches

One proud minute there
Worlds came tumbling in but everybody's leaving home
One proud minute there
You were onto it but everybody's moving on

Everybody's moving on
One proud minute there
Worlds came tumbling in
But everybody's moving on yeah
One proud minute there
Worlds come tumbling in
Glancing happiness ain't the jewel in the crown
