A little god of yellow light is having a doggone good time Dancing in the eyes that cannot love me anymore An eagle screams high in the cliffs And all at once the hair stands up all over me and my heart slips Your lovely face of tangerine For an instant flickers on the mental mirror of my dusty dreams A cloud of stars with little islands Pierces the black wind with a song much lonelier than silence Millions of me's are playing now Deep within the saddened temple of my soul I don't know how So if you must go do it soon The show must go on but once you're gone All the songs from then on will be out of tune
