And go about the city
In the street's
Broadways I seek
Him whom my soul loveth
Went over the sea
What did I find?
A thousand crystal towers
A hundred emerald cities
And the hand of the watchman
In the night sky
Points to my beloved
A knight in crystal armour
And I tried to hold him
I tried for the creed
I'll make a suit of colours
To stop the blinding mirrors
Sew a cape of red and gold
Stifle up the beam
With the perfect armour
With a perfect dream
To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride
And with two suns spinning
At two different speeds
Was born a hot, white diamond
Burning through the rainbow
Flames fell into orbit
To hold eternally
Two heavenly spirits
That just wouldn't seem
To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride
Hey, oh
Hey oh oh oh
Hey, oh
Hey oh oh oh
Hey, oh
Hey oh oh oh
I will rise now And go about the city In the street's Broadways I seek Him whom my soul loveth Went over the sea What did I find? A thousand crystal towers A hundred emerald cities And the hand of the watchman In the night sky Points to my beloved A knight in crystal armour And I tried to hold him I tried for the creed I'll make a suit of colours To stop the blinding mirrors Sew a cape of red and gold Stifle up the beam With the perfect armour With a perfect dream To be made of glass When two suns are shining The battle becomes blinding To be made of glass But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride And with two suns spinning At two different speeds Was born a hot, white diamond Burning through the rainbow Flames fell into orbit To hold eternally Two heavenly spirits That just wouldn't seem To be made of glass When two suns are shining The battle becomes blinding To be made of glass But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride Hey, oh Hey oh oh oh Hey, oh Hey oh oh oh Hey, oh Hey oh oh oh Explain Request ×
