Oldfield

I don't want your Apollo of frozen steel

I don't want your lies you teach my children to feel

So keep off my lovers moon or he'll blind thee

As he walks in beauty on water

He didn't need an aeroplane

As we went flying thro' the starry rain

High over rivers of light seas of pearl

High into the sun

Then we spent the night walking on the water

Hey man catch me white bait

Hey man let's have a banquet

Don't wanna know your name

You're just my lover

Just wanna spend the night

Walking beside you on the water

You look like my lover but your words are cold

You say words like him but thinking has made you grow old

So keep off my lovers moon or he'll blind thee

As he walks in beauty on water
