Lyrics Peter Murphy

Peter Murphy

Gliding Like A Whale

It only takes the time between here and there

For landing in another place

Saw your shadow fleeting in the corner of my eye

Your feet were skimming the sand

And then some began to fly

Lasted no time at all, no time at all, no time at all

Gliding like a whale

In and out of hotels

Gliding like a whale

In and out of hotels

The flower seller told the tale

Saw you kiss the king one minute

Then the next, set sail

Two places in one time and that's not all

In one you're swimming to the limit

Then the next you're riding whales

This clever never no man's land

Angels whisper that you're winning

And stars that leave no trail

It took you no time to leave the land

When you kissed the king one minute

And the next you're setting sail

Gliding like a whale

In and out of hotels

Gliding like a whale

In and out of hotels

Gliding like a whale

Gliding like a whale

Gliding like a whale

In and out of hotels

Gliding like a whale
