Astral Weeks

[Verse 1]

If I ventured in the slipstream

Between the viaducts of your dream

Where immobile steel rims crack

And the ditch in the back roads stop

[Chorus]

Could you find me?

Would you kiss-a my eyes?

And lay me down

In silence easy

To be born again

To be born again?

[Verse 2]

From the far side of the ocean

If I put the wheels in motion

And I stand with my arms behind me

And I pushed another door

[Chorus]

Could you find me?

Would you kiss-a my eyes?

Lay me down

In silence easy

To be born again

To be born again?

[Verse 3]

There you go

Standin' with the look of avarice

And talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter

Showin' pictures on the wall

Whisperin' in the halls

And pointin' a finger at me

[Verse 4]

There you go, there you go

Standin' in the sun, darlin'

With your arms behind you

And your eyes before

[Verse 5]

There you go

Takin' good care of your boy

Seein' that he's got clean clothes

Puttin' on his leatherette shoes

Seeing that he's got clean clothes

A-puttin' on his leatherette shoes

A-pointin' a finger at me

[Verse 6]

And here I am

Standing in your sad arrest

Trying to do my very best

Lookin' straight at you

And comin' through, darlin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]

If I ventured in the slipstream

Between the viaducts of your dream

Where immobile steel rims crack

And the ditch in the back roads stop

[Chorus]

Could you find me?

Would you kiss-a my eyes?

And lay me down

In silence easy

To be born again

To be born again?

To be born again

To be born again

[Post-Chorus]

In another world, darling

In another world

In another time

Got a home on high

Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world

I'm nothing but a stranger in this world

I got a home on high

In another land

So far away

So far away

Way up in the heaven

Way up in the heaven

Way up in the heaven

Way up in the heaven

Ooh, ooh

[Outro]

In another time

In another place

In another time

In another place

Ooh

Way up in the heaven, mmm

In another time, haha, mmm

In another place

In another time

In another place

And another face

Mmm

Yeah
