The Ghost of Rockschool
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've seen God in the Sun,
I've seen God in the street
God before bed and the promise of sleep
God in my dreams
And the free ride of grace
But it all disappears and then I wake up
Was it too late?
Was it just your fate?
There's a demon waits at the garden gate
And if you get past him
Maybe Lawrence and Phil
Will be waiting to take you
To the ghost of rock school
Everything hums as the blue heart turns
And the blue girl's dawn
Is when the sun goes down
My story tonight
Is from your solitude heights
I got a window on your constellation
Master I love from the ground above
As the stars below as my memory flows
Every picture frame is beating
Louder than time
Every clock in the hall is bending slowly
She's in her tower
And she's beautiful, sure
But the quicker you learn
She has no soul to discern
At least no business of yours
You bear the vacuum of scars
She was put there to tempt you
Like the perfume of flowers
I've seen God in the Sun
I've seen God in the street
God before bed and the promise of sleep
God in my dreams
And the free ride of grace
I've seen God shining
Out from her reflection
I've seen God in the Sun
I've seen God in the street
God before bed and the promise of sleep
God in the puddles
And the lane beside houses
I've seen God
Shining out from her reflection...
