Spirit Guide Lyrics

Under a bright blue-sky albatross soars so high

Wings spread free

Diving towards the sea

Rising on thermals you see land ahead

I hear you calling a distant echo

City streets so dirty and rotten

Take me away from here

I will go travelling with my spirit-guide

Lifting me so high in my mind's eye

I am a butterfly

I am the albatross shifting shape on the wing

Lifting me so high

Lifting me to the sky

Lifting me to dreamworld

Unfurled the hand of God takes a pinch of salt

Turns it into sand

A million grains, a billion brains, a trillion dreams

Lost in city lights

The old man shuffles along collecting dreams in a shopping trolley

Welcome to the supermarket of broken dreams

Buy one lie get one free

Lie in the gutter searching for stars

The red you see is not dawn

But the burning soul of a dying planet

Dreamworld, dreamworld, dreamworld

In the dying of the light stands a shadow

Catching butterflies

They are risen from the ashes

Of a world turned upside down

And the old man waits there

Guiding butterflies towards the sea

His garden is falling in the sea

Rising storm, crumbling wall

Lets it fall into the sea

Flowers go, scattered souls

Neptune sings into the wind

Storm clouds rage, dawning age

Old man cries 'How time flies

How time flies, how time flies'

Guided by the light of a lost world

The old man swims to the surface

Golden reflections on waves

Albatross high above calling

I am risen, I am falling, I am risen, I am falling

See my garden below the sea

Flowers fallen

Heartbeats calling distant whales

They answer with their own lonely cries

Broken heartbeats returned to sender

The old man weeps rising to the light

Flying up high again

Albatross soars the bright blue sky

Rising on thermals wings spread wide and free

Dancing with angels, endless circles

Spirit guides are waiting for the old man there

Born again

Running through summer fields

Children are playing

In the light of a new world

They are free
