Astral Weeks

If I ventured in the slipstream

Between the viaducts of your dream

Where mobile steel rims crack

And the ditch in the back roads stop

Could you find me?

Would you kiss-a my eyes?

To lay me down in silence easy

To be born again, to be born again

From the far side of the ocean

If I put the wheels in motion

And I stand with my arms behind me

And I'm pushin' on the door

Could you find me?

Would you kiss-a my eyes?

To lay me down in silence easy

To be born again, to be born again

There you go standin' with the look of avarice

Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter

Showin' pictures on the wall

Whisperin' in the hall

And pointin' a finger at me

There you go, there you go

Standin' in the sun darlin'

With your arms behind you

And your eyes before

There you go

Takin' care of your boy

Seein' that he's got clean clothes

Puttin' on his little red shoes

I see you know he's got clean clothes

A puttin' on his little red shoes

A pointin' a finger at me

Standing in your sad arrest

Trying to do my very best

Lookin' straight at you

Comin' through, darlin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

If I ventured in the slipstream

Between the viaducts of your dreams

Where mobile steel rims crack

And the ditch in the back roads stop

Could you find me?

Would you kiss-a my eyes?

To lay me down in silence easy

To be born again, to be born again

To be born again, to be born again

In another world, darlin'

In another world

In another time

Got a home on high

Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world

I'm nothing but a stranger in this world

I got a home on high in another land

So far away, so far away

Way up in the heaven, way up in the heaven

Way up in the heaven, way up in heaven, oh

In another time, in another place

In another time, in another place

Way up in the heaven

In another time, in another place

In another time, in another place

In another face
