Rain Of Crystal Spires Lyrics
Seven brothers on their way from Avalon
Seven sisters shooting skyways for the sun
& Homer's "Iliad" lay burning in the fire
I was pleased just then
Till you said that the sun will never shine
It'll never shine
It'll never shine
Never shine
Never shine
A desert town to the west of Idaho
Leads to valleys shading vineyards from the snow
Messiah in the sky puts flames upon the sea
& I was mesmerized
Till you said I was positively free
I'm always free
Yes, I agree
Yes, I see
That I'm always free
& the sun won't shine on me
No, the sun won't shine on me
oh, come on sun
Please shine on me
Seven brothers on their way from Avalon
Seven sisters shooting skyways for the sun
You always said to me "Don't walk the straightest line"
So I took heed of that
Till you said that the sun will never shine
It'll never shine
It'll never shine
Never shine
It'll never shine
No, never shine
It'll never shine
Never shine
The sun won't shine
Seven sisters shooting skyways for the sun
& Homer's "Iliad" lay burning in the fire
I was pleased just then
Till you said that the sun will never shine
It'll never shine
It'll never shine
Never shine
Never shine
Leads to valleys shading vineyards from the snow
Messiah in the sky puts flames upon the sea
& I was mesmerized
Till you said I was positively free
I'm always free
Yes, I agree
Yes, I see
That I'm always free
No, the sun won't shine on me
oh, come on sun
Please shine on me
Seven sisters shooting skyways for the sun
You always said to me "Don't walk the straightest line"
So I took heed of that
Till you said that the sun will never shine
It'll never shine
It'll never shine
Never shine
It'll never shine
No, never shine
It'll never shine
Never shine
