Lyric:

another monday morning and he's dreaming on the job
it wouldn't be the first time he's be caught with copperfield

action to distraction and a caution from the boss
pages fall from henry's lap and his passion is revealed

with none to call companion
he'll never fall into despair
with dickens in his pocket
he'll be happy anywhere

glory, glory, rhyme and story
time enough at last
coming to ya, hallelujah
time enough at last

thunder rolls through heaven and fire fills the sky
henry's rolling with it on a raft with hemingway

crawl into the gray light of a shattered world gone by
humming as he rummages the grocery aisles all day

the unrelenting hands of time
finally gonna take it slow
beta come omegaman
got a moment of his own

glory, glory, rhyme and story
time enough at last
coming to ya, hallelujah
time enough at last

all mr. bemis wants is time to read in the afternoon
living another life through books he keeps in a quiet room

shout it from the mountaintop
where did all the people go?
searching for a sign of life
static on the radio
