lyrics

In the house there is a hall
Down the hall there is a door
Through the doorway comes the sweet sound
Of a foot pressed to the floor
Down the path there is a gate
Through the gate there is road
On the road there is a chariot
Of silver and of gold

In the chariot Apollo rides the road to victory
Victoria she takes us to the road beside the sea
By the sea the sun is shining beside the golden sand
where the caravans of love are full of promise in our hands
Up the mountain to the playground, & the playground is on fire
The flames are growing higher as they light the starry sky

I’m walking through the forest
I’ve kept my powder dry
My blues have kept me honest
Like the colour of my eyes.
I’ve been walking through the forest
And now I see the sky

Marvin, Otis, John and Paul
Proclaimed the Promised Land
The promises are welcome
But they fade out in our hands
By the sea there is a door
through the door there is a road
the road is lit by neon
In the neon light we glowed
And the light would take us higher to the beating of the drum
And the drummer said ‘you’re welcome take your pleasure while you can’

The summer turned to winter, so quiet and so cold
The silent empty streets would chill the heart and chill the soul
The hungry heart would cry, and the hungry soul would moan
The gold would turn to metal and the sea was grey and cold

But now I’m walking through the forest
I’ve kept my powder dry
My blues have kept me honest
Like the colour of my eyes.
I’ve been walking through the forest
And now I see the sky
