The Ghost of Rockschool

I've seen God in the sun

I've seen God in the street

God before bed and the promise of sleep

God in my dreams and the free ride of grace

But it all disappears

And then I wake up

Was it too late?

Was it just your fate?

There's a demon that waits at the garden gate

If you get past him maybe Lawrence and Phil

Will be waiting to take you to the ghost of rockschool

Everything hums

As the blue heart turns

And the blue girls dawn us when the sun goes down

A story tonight is from your solitude heights

I got a window on your constellation

Master I love from the ground above

There's the stars below as my memory flows

Every picture frame is beating louder than time

Every clock in the hall is bending slowly

She's in her tower

And she's beautiful, sure

The quicker you learn she has no soul to discern

At least no business of yours

You bear the vacuum of scars

She was put there to tempt you

Like the perfume of flowers

I've seen God in the sun

I've seen God in the street

God before bed and the promise of sleep

God in my dreams and the free ride of grace

I've seen God shining up from her reflection

I've seen God in the sun

I've seen God in the street

God before bed and the promise of sleep

God in the puddles and the lane beside her

I've seen God shining up from her reflection
