lyrics

for a week or two once i lived on light
my gut was filled along with my sight
in my fast i heard the song of the sky
a song you hum til the day you die

with this song in my heart night fell
how far our love reached who could tell
does a fire have a ghost when it's out?
better yet, is the magic in song only sound?

toil through the night
to write my chant
sing in yellow light to rehearse
what song could do for you what was done for me?
not just any song will do, spirit speak

ive a spell in mind, ring a bell and your mine
round a fire ill have you dance, with a word, you'll be entranced

i have dropped my guard for you, oh boy
hopin all the long day thru, for some rare joy
when i am old like you, will my head sadly droop?
or like a leaf in autumn's hue, old yet joyful bloom?

i heard the hymn eternal, the wind carried us away
my god remember how to be
that song boomin in the clouds, that ship blowin out to sea
my god remember how to be

in a flyin machine way up high
i sang with the song of the sky
for fuel using coal wood and dreams
climbing higher than high til we're free

down the graveyard path
to find new life
rhyme and meaning mash
boy, you've grown!

have i conjured up a ghost?
are you possessed?
second time's a charm, listen friends!

ive a spell...

on the wind i hear a song, hear some rare joy
song of sky all along, no more sweet boy
haven't heard the hymn by now, hello joy
boomin like a thundercloud, hello joy

i heard the hymn eternal...

ive a spell...
