Misheard lyric

Sep 18, 2007 13:54

Today I learned that, in the Yes song "Roundabout", mountains come out of the sky. Not marmots, like I have been hearing (and singing) for years. Mountains.

Because mountains falling out of the sky makes soooo much more sense!


Roundabout

(jon anderson/steve howe)

Ill be the round about
The words will make you out n out
You change the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
In and out the valley

The muses dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
In and out the valley

Chorus
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they
Stand there
One mile over well be there and well see
You
Ten true summers well be there and
Laughing too
Twenty four before my love youll see Ill be
There with you

I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distance atmosphere
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
Even in the valley

Chorus

Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching
Down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees
The rim of the land
The eagles dancing wings create as weather
Spins out of hand
Go closer hold the land feel partly no more
Than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers
By in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand
Surrounded by a million years

Ill be the roundabout
The words will make you out n out
Ill be the roundabout
The words will make you out n out

Chorus

Ill be the roundabout
The words will make you out n out
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
In and out the valley

Chorus

amusing, song lyrics
