Spinning Song (Live at Alexandra Palace, 2020)

Once there was a song, the song yearned to be sung
It was a spinning song about the king of rock 'n' roll
The king was first a young prince, the prince was the best
With his black jelly hair he crashed onto a stage in Vegas
The king had a queen, the queen's hair was a stairway
She tended the castle garden, and in the garden planted a tree
The garden tree was a stairway, it was fifteen branches high
On the top branch was a nest, sing the high cloudy nest
In the nest there was a bird, the bird had a wing
The wing had a feather, spin the feather and sing the wind
The king in time died, the queen's heart broke like a vow
And the tree returned to the earth with the nest and the bird
But the feather spun upwards, upwards and upwards
Spinning all the weather vanes
Spinning above the streets
Spinning above the crowds
Spinning above the cities, forever spinning
Oh this prayer is for you my love
Sent on the wings of a dove, upward, and upward, and upward
