Intro 1

Verse 1

The

other night i had a dream you came to me or so seemed, on a vessel of hot air gleaming red.

An impetus upon the wing,

you offered me a golden ring and so I left my dreams within the bed

Verse 2

I jumped aboard with nightcap on, the moon was up,

the curtains drawn- we rose into the silver dusty glow

The whistle spoke above the cloak of factories that

billowed smoke over the city of Bordeaux

Verse 3

The captain and the ballast boy played a waltz on clocks and toys,

we set our sights for glory, and the sea

We fired the gas, and soon we passed,

painted ships all made of brass who sailed in orbit astro- logically

Interlude 2

Verse 8

The other night I had a dream you came to me- or so it seemed-

on a zepplin made of crystal, made of glass

Upon a steam calliope you sat and played a song for me,

a shanti from a vagrant midnight mass

Verse 9

You puffed a pipe of turkish moss and set course for the albatross,

a sea of silver prophets on the wing

And through the captain's telescope, you gazed and blew a ring of smoke,

and then we bade farewell unto the spring

Verse 10

You were like a dusty rose, an arrow launched from heaven's bow,

a chanson, ever haunting to my ear

And for better or for worse, I knew this was the final verse,

an ode to times soon to disappear

Verse 11

The anchor man was ill- content and sang a song,

a sweet lament, while I flipped pennies to the sky

And bade farewell to you my love,

this stormy romance up above, a tale sure to electrify
