The Ballad of Quarantine

One day the clouds will roll away
Again the sun will shine

Time melts your heart away
What’s left then will decay

Passing through extraordinary times

It’s a a torrid pace for those who’re tired
Pares down what your mind desires

Slows you down way down deep in your soul

No one wants to watch it burn
there must be something we can learn

Passing through extraordinary times

bridge

look around you’re not here and we’re drowning in this sea of fear
And we’re thinking out loud now someone has to pay

Nothing else to do but worry
We’re slowly falling in a hurry

Passing through extraordinary times

½ bridge

Help us through this troubled time
Please don’t let us detonate the mines

Walk us safely through this field today

We’re not sure how to get through this
this field of despair and loneliness

Passing through extraordinary times
