[00:27.340]Down among the reeds and rushes
[00:31.595]A baby boy was found
[00:35.278]His eyes as clear as centuries
[00:39.921]His silky hair was brown
[00:44.467]Never been lonely
[00:46.591]Never been lied to
[00:48.638]Never had to scuffle in fear
[00:50.825]Nothing denied to
[00:53.070]Born at the instant
[00:55.103]The church bells chime
[00:57.396]And the whole world whispering
[00:59.652]Born at the right time
[01:10.537]Me and my buddies we are travelling people
[01:12.474]We like to go down to restaurant row
[01:18.865]Spend those Euro-dollars
[01:20.958]All the way from Washington to Tokyo
[01:26.817]I see them in the airport lounge
[01:31.753]Upon their mother's breast
[01:35.942]They follow me with open eyes
[01:40.334]Their uninvited guest
[01:44.821]Never been lonely
[01:46.913]Never been lied to
[01:48.794]Never had to scuffle in fear
[01:50.993]Nothing denied to
[01:53.170]Born at the instant
[01:55.528]The church bells chime
[01:57.524]And the whole world whispering
[01:59.697]Born at the right time
[02:19.206]Too many people on the bus from the airport
[02:21.593]Too many holes in the crust of the earth
[02:28.116]The planet groans
[02:29.939]Every time it registers another birth
[02:36.010]But down among the reeds and rushes
[02:40.022]A baby girl was found
[02:45.094]Her eyes as clear as centuries
[02:49.317]Her silky hair was brown
[02:53.933]Never been lonely
[02:56.013]Never been lied to
[02:58.116]Never had to scuffle in fear
[03:00.273]Nothing denied to
[03:02.226]Born at the instant
[03:04.460]The church bells chime
[03:06.601]And the whole world whispering
[03:08.789]Born at the right time

Down among the reeds and rushes
A baby boy was found
His eyes as clear as centuries
His silky hair was brown
Never been lonely
Never been lied to
Never had to scuffle in fear
Nothing denied to
Born at the instant
The church bells chime
And the whole world whispering
Born at the right time
Me and my buddies we are travelling people
We like to go down to restaurant row
Spend those Euro-dollars
All the way from Washington to Tokyo
I see them in the airport lounge
Upon their mother's breast
They follow me with open eyes
Their uninvited guest
Never been lonely
Never been lied to
Never had to scuffle in fear
Nothing denied to
Born at the instant
The church bells chime
And the whole world whispering
Born at the right time
Too many people on the bus from the airport
Too many holes in the crust of the earth
The planet groans
Every time it registers another birth
But down among the reeds and rushes
A baby girl was found
Her eyes as clear as centuries
Her silky hair was brown
Never been lonely
Never been lied to
Never had to scuffle in fear
Nothing denied to
Born at the instant
The church bells chime
And the whole world whispering
Born at the right time
