Anthony Phillips

Guru

Well here she comes through the trees

In her saffron robes and dangling beads

She's a special child, touching the Holy Sea

Where White no longer is pure

And Red, the colour of the cure

In San Francisco she lights a flame

And in Brazilian bars they chant his name

She's a special child who's playing the Godfind game

Where White no longer is pure

And Red, the colour of the cure

They're taking your name away

I don't want your guru

I don't need your paradise

I love you for what you are

Perfection's not mine

No more family, no more friends

No expectations now, no bitter ends

For she's a special child, with a castle she must defend

Where White no longer is pure

And Red, the colour of the cure

They're taking your name away

Well, it's over now, I think I know

We tried to work it out, someone let go

I've got a special place, your bridge to the outside world

Where White no longer is pure

And Red, the colour of the cure

They've taken your name away
