Solitude Peter Hammill

[Verse 1]
Silently I rest in the tall green grass
And look steadily upwards
Birds sing ceaselessly around me
And the blue of the sky surrounds me strangely

[Verse 2]
Out here, life is at its essence
And watches the world with innocent eyes;
Far from grime, far from rushing people
It seems that I have found a tiny peace

[Verse 3]
On the blue backdrop of the unknown
The water droplets trace their paths;
On the sky, mortals hang on metal –
But who is to know how long either will last?

[Verse 4]
The lovely white clouds glide
Across the sky and into our dreams
I feel as though I had died some time ago:
Now I'll wander with the clouds through eternal space
Now I'll wander with the clouds through eternal space
Now I'll wander with the clouds through eternal space
