Starburst Lyrics

In a mist to the fair I was walking one day

An enveloping haze so unsure of my way

When a voice from the midst whispered reasons to stray

Whispered reasons so sure I responded okay

And it took me to a place where nothing was real

Where sea wraiths and spirits were guiding the wheel

Where to fly with a circle of fire made in steel

Was to fly to where no-one could fathom how I feel

So I burst from a star that was made just for that

And I soared with a bird and we never came back

And the lava that flowed was all silver and black

As it flung out applause to the good ship The Black Jack

With a word we could muster a herd

Of space-living creatures with songs never heard

We'd stride through the cosmos with sabre and shield

While dazzled in blue with our magnetic field

And it's on ever on towards no-one knows where

Through a starburst of colours that flame in our hair

In a swirl of caprice that can stifle a care

Like the swirl of the mist disappearing at the fair
