I was busy walking
Walking down the road
Carrying a coffin
Quite a heavy load
And then I touched the sky
Would you believe me now if I told you?
Suddenly I could fly
But just for a time
And then I was back on the grund

I was busy running
Running down the lane
Two men were a-gunning
Heard them call my name
Then I went through the clouds
I couldn't hear a sound only silence
I never felt so proud
But just for a while
And then I was back on the ground

Once you spread your wings baby
Ah what joy it brings baby
Far above it all
Problems are as small
As the ones who crawl below

I was going slowly
Slowly round the bend
Feeling so unholy
Trouble for my friend
And then I touched the sky
You wouldn't believe how high if I told you
Everything left behind
But just for a time
And then I was back on the ground
