Obscured By Clouds Lyrics

Title
- Bridges burning gladly,
- Merging with the shadows,
- Flickering between the lines.
- Stolen moments floating softly on the air,
- Born on wings of fire and climbing higher.
- Ancient bonds are breaking,
- Moving on and changing sides.
- Dreaming of a new day,
- Cast aside the other way.
- Magic visions stirring,
- Kindled by and burning flames rise in her eyes.
- The door stands ajar,
- The wall that once were high.
- Beyond the gilded cage,
- Beyond the reach of ties.
- The moment is at hand.
- She breaks the golden band.
- Come on, my friends,
- Let's make for the hills.
- They say there's gold but I'm looking for thrills.
- You can get your hands on whatever we find,
- Because I'm only coming along for the ride.
- Well, you go your way,
- I'll go mine.
- I don't care if we get there on time.
- Everybody's searching for something, they say.
- I'll get my kicks on the way.
- Over mountains, across seas,
- Who knows what will be waiting for me?
- I could sail forever to strange sounding names.
- Faces of people and places don't change.
- All I have to do is just close my eyes
- To see the seagulls wheeling on those far distant skies.
- All I want to tell you,
- All I want to say is count me in on the journey.
- Don't expect me to stay.
- Heaven said the promised land
- Looks allright from where I stand
- Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in
- Waiting on the first step
- Show where the key is kept
- Point me down the right line because it's time
- To let me in from the cold
- Turn my land into gold
- Cause there's chill wind blowing in my soul
- And I think I'm growing old
- Flash the red is wots...uh the deal
- Got to make to the next meal
- Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel.
- Mile after mile
- Stone after stone
- Turn to speak but you're alone
- Million mile from home you're on your own
- So let me in from the cold
- Turn my land into gold
- Cause there's chill wind blowing in my soul
- And I think I'm growing old
- Fly bright by candlelight
- Up out of my sight
- And if she prefers we will never stir again
- Someone said the promised land
- And I grabbed it with both hands
- Now I'm the man on the inside looking out
- Hear me shout 'come on in, what's the news and where you been?'
- Cause there's no wind left in my soul
- And I've grown old
- You shout in your sleep.
- Perhaps the price is just too stepp.
- Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?
- You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart.
- Just one man beneath the sky,
- Just two ears, just two eyes.
- You set sail across the sea of longpast thoughts and memories.
- Childhood's end,
- Your fantasies merge with harsh realities.
- And then as the sail is hoist,
- You find your eyes are growing moist.
- All the fears never voiced say you have to make your final choice.
- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why?
- Some are born;
- Some men die beneath one infinite sky.
- There'll be war, there'll be peace.
- But everything one day will cease.
- All the iron turned to rust;
- All the proud men turned to dust.
- And so all things, time will mend.
- So this song will end.
- The memories of a man in his old age
- Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
- You suffle in gloom in the sickroom
- And talk to yourself till you die.
- Life is a short, warm moment
- And death is a long cold rest.
- You get your chance to try
- In the twinkling of an eye:
- Eighty years, with luck, or even less.
- So all aboard for the American tour,
- And maybe you'll make it to the top.
- And mind how you go.
- I can tell you, because I know.
- You may find it hard to get off.
- You are the angel of death
- And I am the dead man's son.
- And he died like a mole in a fox hole.
- And everyone is still in the run.
- And who is the master of fox hounds?
- And who says the hunt has begun?
- And who calls the tune in the courtroom?
- And who beats the funeral drum?
- The memories of a man in his old age
- Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
- You suffle in gloom in the sickroom
- And talk to yourself till you die.
- Stay and help me to end the day.
- And of you don't mind,
- We'll break a bottle of wine.
- Stick around and maybe we'll put one down,
- Because I wanna find what lies behind those eyes.
- Midnight blue burning gold.
- A yellow moon is growing cold.
- I rise, looking through my morning eyes,
- Surprised to find you by my side.
- Rack my brain to try to remember your name
- To find the words to tell you goodbye.
- Morning dues.
- Newborn day.
- Midnight blue turn to gray.
- Midnight blue burning gold.
- A yellow moon is growing cold.
