Madrigal

Madrigal

(Jon Anderson/Rick Wakeman)

I will be there
said my friend
of a distant life
Covered in greens of a golden age,
set in stone
Follow me,
"he sounded of dreams supreme"
follow me
Drifting within the glow
and the after-glow of the eve
And if that firelight,
I could match the inner flame.

Sacred ships do sail the seventh age
Cast off your garments of fear,
replace them with love
Most of all play
with the game of the age
Highest of places remain
all as one with you
Giving us light
and the freedom of the day
And if that firelight,
I could match the inner flame

Sacred ships do sail the seventh age
And have always been here
Celestial travellers have always
been here with us
Set in the homes
of the universe
we have yet to go
Countless expansions will arrive
and flow inside of us
My friend,
he of fantasy,
dancing with the spirit of the age

YES
