Achilles Last Stand

It was an April morning when they told us we should go

And as I turn to you, you smiled at me

How could we say no?

Oh, the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had

Oh, the songs to sing, when we'd at last return again

We swept New York a glancing kiss to those who claim they know

Below the streets that steam and hiss

The devil's in his hold

Oh, to sail away, to sandy lands and other days

Oh, to touch the dream, hides inside and is never seen, yeah

Into the sun, the south, the north, at last the birds have flown

The shackles of commitment fell in pieces on the ground

Oh, to ride the wind, to tread the air above the din

Oh, to laugh aloud with dancing eyes above the crowds, yeah

Seek the man whose pointing hand the giant step unfolds

To guide us from the curving path that turns our feet to stone

And if one bell should ring in celebration for a king

So fast, the heart should beat

As proud as the head with heavy feet, yeah

The days went by when you and I bathed in eternal summer's glow

As far away and distant, our mutual child did grow

Oh, the sweet refrain soothes the soul and calms the pain

Oh, Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again

Wandering and wonderings, one place to rest the search

Where the mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the Earth

Oh, the mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the Earth

From the Earth

Earth

Earth

(I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way)

Earth

(I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way)

Earth, Earth

Where the mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the Earth
