about

Original version appears on 'As It Always Has Been'.

lyrics

A cloud hangs upon the skyline
Watching you shiver and drink your wine ---

With a belly full o' Fire-Mead there are tricks to be done
Underneath the burnished sky of the setting sun
There's a climatic point when we'll become one

And Heaven is such a long way down --- the Elixir washes me out
The time is right --- the time is now
And Heaven is such a long way down --- the Elixir washes me out
The time is right --- the time is now

[Interlude]

So you won't be taking me alive tonight (So Alive)
I'll be sifting through the sands of time (Travel Time)
And that cloud holds no menace for you or I (Sounds/Smells)
As it watches us together --- drinking wine (Water/Wine)

And Heaven is such a long way down --- the Elixir washes me out
The time is right --- the time is now
The sky will swallow and enrapt --- trouble is far away at last
We are the lovers of the past

[Interlude]

A cloud hangs upon the skyline
Just to watch the world go by
