Forever Wright Lyrics

When you were at the helm

In your natural realm

With your Hammond and your Rhodes

Harmonising to Echoes

Always far too cool

For architecture school

With friends you formed a band

With a Crazy Diamond for front man

A club they called Countdown

In London's underground

A scene you helped grow

Playing at the UFO

Living through the haze

Of those psychedelia days

The first front man was gone

And the band continued on

Sailing on a sea

Of sonic imagery

A canvas made of sound

Waves swirling all around

Pictures in our minds

A soundtrack for all time

Guiding us it seems

To a world beyond our dreams

Waves upon the sand

Of a distant land

The ocean gently calls

The curtain never falls

Eternally cast free

In the Aegean Sea

From Rhodes you sail away

Into a brighter day

A Narrow Way to start

An Atom Mother's Heart

Summer 68 and If

Were your songwriter's gifts

Echoes and beyond

Your soundscapes came through strong

Especially on the day

You made history in Pompeii

Breathing in the Air

A journey you all share

A brotherhood but then

It turned into Us and Them

Sidelined by The Wall

You had to make a call

It must have felt like treason

A Temporary Lapse of Reason

Sailing on a sea

Of sonic imagery

A canvas made of sound

Waves swirling all around

Pictures in our minds

A soundtrack for all time

Guiding us it seems

To a world beyond our dreams

Waves upon the sand

Of a distant land

The ocean gently calls

The curtain never falls

Basking in the sun

Of a Caribbean dawn

Virgin Islands and beyond

We won't forget your songs
