Astral Weeks

If  I ventured in the slipstream


Between the viaducts of your dream


Where immobile steel rims crack


And the ditch in the back roads stop


Could you find me?


Would you kiss my eyes?


Lay me down


In silence easy


To be born again


To be born again


From the far side of the ocean


If I put the wheels in motion


And I stand with my arms behind me


And I’m pushin’ on the door


Could you find me?


Would you kiss my eyes?


Lay me down


In silence easy


To be born again


To be born again


There you go


Standin’ with the look of avarice


Talkin’ to Huddie Ledbetter


Showin’ pictures on the wall


Whisperin’ in the hall


And pointin’ a finger at me


There you go, there you go


Standin’ in the sun darlin’


With your arms behind you


And your eyes before


There you go


Takin’ good care of your boy


Seein’ that he’s got clean clothes


Puttin’ on his leatherette  shoes


I see you know he’s got clean clothes


A-puttin’ on his leatherette shoes


A-pointin’ a finger at me


And here I am


Standing in your sad arrest


Trying to do my very best


Lookin’ straight at you


Comin’ through, darlin’


Yeah, yeah, yeah


If I ventured in the slipstream


Between the viaducts of your dreams


Where immobile steel rims crack


And the ditch in the back roads stop


Could you find me


Would you kiss my eyes


Lay me down


In silence easy


To be born again


To be born again


To be born again


In another world


In another world


In another time


Got a home on high
 
I’m nothing but a stranger in this world


I got a home on high


In another land


So far away


So far away


Way up in the heaven


Way up in the heaven


Way up in the heaven


Way up in the heaven


In another time


In another place


In another time


In another place


Way up in the heaven


Way up in the heaven


We are goin’ up to heaven


We are goin’ to heaven


In another time


In another place


In another time


In another place


In another face
