Song Lyrics
In the bright red sky
In the heat of an evening
When only prisoners sleep
She said she couldn`t
Come to the garden
See an old man weep
She said her dreams
What too far to be thought of
As scars too WIDE to view
She said she couldn`t
Come to the garden
See a blind man kneel
She sailed away
To a blue horizon
In floating thoughts she`d sway
She said she couldn`t
Come to the garden
See an old man pray
She wished them luck
As they left on their journey
Maybe she`d join them soon
But she lost her grip
At the tip of life`s finger
Went home and worshipped the moon
