As I flew through indifferent clouds
The pilots slept in liquid beds
From roaring seas I heard their shouts
Dead men turned magic blue to red
Winds carried me through rain and thought
Towards the eastern paradise
My broken wings, freedom they brought
Let me roam freely in splendid skies
A star-ship hovering alert
On through the waves of time and place
Released from all the worldly hurt
In the infinite depths of space...
I danced upon the stratosphere
Where icy winds my engines froze
A sailor without grief and fear
To live a life of joy I chose
Once drowned in the poetic night
Safe inside heaven's canopy
Like tender lovers the sunlight
In gentle hours embraced me
Eternal storm, it blows me home
Into oblivion deep down
Wherever aeroplanes may roam
Liquid soft clouds are my crown
