Spirit On The Water

Album: Gone to Earth (1977)

  • There's a spirit floating on the water
    There's a shadow lying down by the shore
    Wasn't he there a year before?

    A sacrifice for the coat he's wearing
    A 'paradise' for the lady
    Who dares color him red upon the shore?

    We carry the burden upon our shoulder
    We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
    Don't you care about the state you're in
    Or don't you understand?

    See the spirit floating on the water
    See the shadow lying down by the shore
    Wasn't he there some years before?

    We carry the burden upon our shoulder
    We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
    Don't you care about the state you're in
    Or don't you understand? Writer/s: LES HOLROYD
