Spirit of the west - Wishing line lyrics

rate me

In the shadow of Modigliani

The German punkers lie

Each with a dog, on a bit of string

And filling half the sky

The Koln Cathedral offers calm

And quiet expectations

And then Elvis lit a candle on my day of revelations

Threw out a wish on a long piece of string

Felt a gentle tug and then pulled it in

Kept it in my hand 'til I reached the ground

Climbed up, brought it down on Ascension day

Didn't know how many steps, enough to make me sweat

I pressed my face against the screen

To be closer to the wind

The climb left stone, for iron stairs

That ended shart of heaven

And it seemed the perfect place for prayer

On the day of my ascension

Threw out a wish on a long piece of string

Felt a gentle tug and then pulled it in, pulled it in

Kept it in my hand 'til I reached the ground

Climbed up, brought it down on Ascension day, Ascension day

Drifted through a door

To a room reserved for prayer

Grateful for the silence

I turned my thoughts to you

And they landed on your body

As they very often do

Wingtips fanned and stretched

For the guilding on the dome

I lit a prayer on borrowed flame

And sent my love back home, home

Threw out a wish on a long piece of string

Felt a gentle tug and then pulled it in, pulled it in

Kept it in my hand 'til I reached the ground

Climbed up, brought it down

Threw out a wish on a long piece of string

Felt a gentle tug and then pulled it in

Kept it in my hand 'til I reached the ground

Climbed up, brought it down on Ascension day

Ascension day

Ascension day

Hey lee-ayy-yaay<br />
