WILD BLUE YONDER

WILD BLUE YONDER

Old sad earth, I shall trouble you no longer.

On the wings of a silent prayer,
Into the wild blue yonder,

I will sail across your blazing western skies,
Leaving a world of troubles in my wake,
Leaving this body that loves to shake,
Leaving my lover's heart to break.

Old sad earth, I shall cut you down to size,
Across the wild blue yonder,
Kicking sand up in your eye.

And a new day I will see, old sad earth,
A new day of forgiveness for a soul that seeks rebirth.
Into the bosom of that home beyond the stars,
Looking down on your lost highways
And their tiny little cars.

Old sad earth, you shall not miss me when I'm gone,
But in my spirit lives the fire of life and the rising of the dawn.
And I will be at peace with you and love you from afar,
From my home in the wild blue yonder, miles from where you are.
