Lyrics

Vertical Ray

O by lavender light

O my golden day

Sit beside the window in the morning

Watch the roofs and the lights in their change

Vertical ray of holiday

Test my aloneness

Against the weight and length of each day

I long for greener pasture

But they are not yet of what I am made

Vertical ray of holiday

Well, the sun will always set

As light streams through the door

We are closer to Tonawanda

Than we have ever been before

Vertical ray of holiday
