In a Beautiful Rambling Mess

I was taking the air one sunny evening

Watching everything being - happily

In the fire the restless sun was turning

In my body the pages of my life

And I saw them all soaring past

From the first to the very last

Through the surging crests of the waves

Of a memory made from them all by everyone

Yesterday's laughing, loving round my head

I remember the times when I first met you

What a beautiful sunset sky

Pleading words, burning eyes, and ripping heartache

Scorching fury of youth that fills me - yet

But as sweet as these memories are

(What a fantastic sky)

They're as near as the furthest star

Just a daydream away

Sheltered by some nearest far

What a sky - laughing, loving round my head

What's her name?

Er... she's a lovely piece

Of woman

Flowing hair

In the early morning air

Well I think I'll sit down and use this sunset

As a timeship to travel through my mind

And I'll wander just where I please

Through my wallowing dreams with ease

And the cows can come home and go out again

And I'll still be here after pancake doomsday

What a beautiful rambling mess we live
