Lyrics:
The old man stands with blackened eyes
Unblinking upward to the skies
In his world he sees strange sights
Purple days and crimson nights
Concrete castles on the grass
Many moons have come to pass
He was born a million stars ago
born with neither friend or foe
Silently he glides on past
His secret dreams will always last
Gently smiles as he sees a dawn
Yet another world has just been born
And he spies pink peaks dressed in blue
He's seen me and he's seen you
Now in mind his unclosed eye
looking down on years gone by
Orange red of smouldering sky
I've climbed the mountains through his eye
What goes on inside his head
You'll never know until you're dead
The wise old man is waiting there
To show you skies of colours red
You only have to pay the fare
And he'll strip your brain free from care
