Roger Chapman - Glory Ride lyrics

Alice was all naked – bathing in the spring Leaping from my mountain – said, "I'm coming in" Met deep down underwater – tasted the first sin Re-created heaven – drank the blood of kings Oh, that was a glory ride Oh, that was a glory ride This dancer was my spirit – an elfin of her time Thumbelina spinning round – pirouettes of fire A highland fling to fascinate any vacant mind Love enough to give as we s**led from the vine Oh, that was a glory ride Oh, that was a glory ride We'd climb up to the tower – high, nestled in the pines Drift away for days and days – watch the World unwind We'd light a hundred candles – shield us from the night She'd open up her "powers" and let the glory shine Oh, that was a glory ride Oh, that was a glory ride My gypsy woman held me and whispered, "not too soon" Within the mask of darkness – I wrestled with the news When the blanket on the ground burst like a fat balloon To the music of the campfire – we bit the wicked moon Oh, that was a glory ride Oh, that was a glory ride
