Close To The Edge
3
I. The Solid Time Of Change
4
Anderson/Howe
5
A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace,
6
And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace,
7
And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar,
8
Then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour.
9
And assessing points to nowhere, leading ev'ry single one.
10
A dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun,
11
And take away the plain in which we move,
12
And choose the course you're running.
13
Down at the edge, round by the corner,
14
Not right away, not right away.
15
Close to the edge, down by a river,
16
Not right away, not right away.
17
Crossed the line around the changes of the summer,
18
Reaching to call the color of the sky.
19
Passed around a moment clothed in mornings faster than we see.
20
Getting over all the time I had to worry,
21
Leaving all the changes far from far behind.
22
We relieve the tension only to find out the master's name.
23
Down at the end, round by the corner.
24
Close to the edge, just by a river.
25
Seasons will pass you by.
26
I get up, I get down.
27
Now that it's all over and done,
28
Now that you find, now that you're whole.
29
II. Total Mass Retain
30
Anderson/Squire
31
My eyes convinced, eclipsed with the younger moon attained with love.
32
It changed as almost strained amidst clear manna from above.
33
I crucified my hate and held the word within my hand.
34
There's you, the time, the logic, or the reasons we don't understand.
35
Sad courage claimed the victims standing still for all to see,
36
As armoured movers took approach to overlook the sea.
37
There since the cord, the license, or the reasons we understood will be.
38
Down at the edge, close by a river.
39
Close to the edge, round by the corner.
40
Close to the end, down by the corner.
41
Down at the edge, round by the river.
42
Sudden call shouldn't take away the startled memory.
43
All in all, the journey takes you all the way.
44
As apart from any reality that you've ever seen and known.
45
Guessing problems only to deceive the mention,
46
Passing paths that climb halfway into the void.
47
As we cross from side to side, we hear the total mass retain.
48
Down at the edge, round by the corner.
49
Close to the end, down by a river.
50
Seasons will pass you by.
51
I get up, I get down.
52
III. I Get Up, I Get Down
53
Anderson/Howe
54
In her white lace
55
You can clearly see the lady sadly looking.
56
Saying that she'd take the blame
57
For the crucifixion of her own domain.
58
I get up, I get down,
59
I get up, I get down.
60
Two million people barely satisfy.
61
Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late.
62
The eyes of honesty can achieve.
63
How many millions do we deceive each day?
64
[Thru the duty she would coil their said
65
Amusement of her story asking only interest
66
Could be laid upon the children of her domain]
67
I get up, I get down.
68
I get up, I get down.
69
In charge of who is there in charge of me.
70
Do I look on blindly and say I see the way?
71
The truth is written all along the page.
72
How old will I be before I come of age for you?
73
I get up, I get down.
74
I get up, I get down.
75
I get up, I get down.
76
IV. Seasons Of Man
77
Anderson/Howe
78
The time between the notes relates the color to the scenes.
79
A constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man, so it seems.
80
And space between the focus shape ascend knowledge of love.
81
As song and chance develop time, lost social temp'rance rules above.
82
Ah, ah.
83
Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space,
84
He turned around and pointed, revealing all the human race.
85
I shook my head and smiled a whisper, knowing all about the place.
86
On the hill we viewed the silence of the valley,
87
Called to witness cycles only of the past.
88
And we reach all this with movements in between the said remark.
89
Close to the edge, down by the river.
90
Down at the end, round by the corner.
91
Seasons will pass you by,
92
Now that it's all over and done,
93
Called to the seed, right to the sun.
94
Now that you find, now that you're whole.
95
Seasons will pass you by,
96
I get up, I get down.
97
I get up, I get down.
98
I get up, I get down.
99
And You And I
100
I. Cord Of Life
101
Anderson/Bruford/Howe/Squire
102
A man conceived a moment's answers to the dream.
103
Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes.
104
As a foundation left to create the spiral aim,
105
A movement regained and regarded both the same,
106
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
107
Changed only for a sight of sound, the space agreed.
108
Between the picture of time behind the face of need,
109
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
110
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
111
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
112
Oh.
113
Coins and crosses
114
Turn round tailor, assaulting
115
Never know their fruitless worth;
116
all the mornings of the interest shown,
117
presenting one another to the cord,
118
Cords are broken,
119
All left dying, rediscovered
120
Of the door that turned round,
121
Locked inside the mother earth.
122
To close the cover, all the
123
interest shown,
124
They won't hide, hold, they won't tell you,
125
To turn one another, to the sign at the time float your climb.
126
Watching the world, watching all of the world,
127
Watching us go by.
128
And you and I climb over the sea to the valley,
129
And you and I reached out for reasons to call.
130
II. Eclipse
131
Anderson/Bruford/Squire
132
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
133
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
134
As a movement regained and regarded both the same,
135
All complete in the side of seeds of life with you.
136
III. The Preacher the Teacher
137
Anderson/Bruford/Howe/Squire
138
Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time;
139
Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme.
140
There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify;
141
Political ends, as sad remains, will die.
142
Reach out as forward tastes begin to enter you.
143
Ooh, ooh.
144
I listened hard but could not see
145
Life tempo change out and inside me.
146
The preacher trained in all to lose his name;
147
The teacher travels, asking to be shown the same.
148
In the end, we'll agree, we'll accept, we'll immortalize
149
That the truth of the man maturing in his eyes,
150
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
151
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
152
As a moment regained and regarded both the same,
153
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
154
A clearer future, morning, evening, nights with you.
155
IV. Apocalypse
156
Anderson/Bruford/Howe/Squire
157
And you and I climb, crossing the shapes of the morning.
158
And you and I reach over the sun for the river.
159
And you and I climb, clearer, towards the movement.
160
And you and I called over valleys of endless seas.
161
Siberian Khatru
162
Anderson/Howe/Wakeman
163
Sing, bird of prey;
164
Beauty begins at the foot of you. Do you believe the manner?
165
Gold stainless nail,
166
Torn through the distance of man
167
As they regard the summit.
168
Even Siberia goes through the motions.
169
Hold out and hold up;
170
Hold down the window.
171
Outbound, river,
172
Hold out the morning that comes into view.
173
Bluetail, tailfly.
174
River running right on over my head.
175
How does she sing?
176
Who holds the ring? And ring and you will find me coming.
177
Cold reigning king,
178
Hold all the secrets from you
179
As they produce the movement.
180
Even Siberia goes through the motions.
181
Hold out and hold up;
182
Hold down the window.
183
Outbound, river,
184
Hold out the morning that comes into view.
185
Bluetail, tailfly.
186
River running right over the outboard, river,
187
Bluetail, tailfly,
188
Luther, in time.
189
Dude'ndoodit, dah, d't-d't-dah.
190
Hold down the window;
191
Hold out the morning that comes into view.
192
Warm side, the tower;
193
Green leaves reveal the heart spoken Khatru.
194
Gold stainless nail,
195
Torn through the distance of man as they regard the summit.
196
Cold reigning king,
197
Shelter the women that sing
198
As they produce the movement.
199
River running right on over my head
200
Outboard, river.
201
Bluetail, tailfly,
202
Luther, in time,
203
Suntower, asking,
204
Cover, lover,
205
June cast, moon fast,
206
As one changes,
207
Heart gold, leaver,
208
Soul mark, mover,
209
Christian, changer,
210
Called out, saviour,
211
Moon gate, climber,
212
Turn round, glider.
