Largo Lyrics

Dave: [I don't think it's Sacred Priests, doesn't sound right]

Bud: [ It does fit the song's meaning, if not the precise sound

 though. Pious priests, with their "narrow ways," wouldn't

 care at all to argue with you or I because they know they

 are right. And of course, the angels they pretend to

 know so much about, in reality, favour "us". But, these

 priests cannot see the inner man.

 But the song begins with the sound, "ey" or "hey". Comical.

 What do you think?

Sacred priests don't cry....(?)

 [____-tries] don't cry

 they've no reason to argue

 at all

 they don't realise

 that the angels surround you with light

 they don't understand

 their narrow ways defeat them where they stand

 they don't realise

 you hide the sadness beneath a painted smile.

 Ignorance,

 that line of fools steers a wayward path

 and set the course upon which we sing into the night of uncertainty.

 Following the stars

 that make their way across the sky

 valuing the love

 that land brings to our eyes

 We sail...
