Gliding Like A Whale

It only takes the time Between here and there For a landing in another place Saw your shadow fleeting In the corner of my eye Your feet were skimming the sand And then some began to fly Lasted no time at all No time at all Gliding like a whale In and out of hotels Gliding like a whale In and out of hotels The flower seller told the tale Saw you kiss the King one minute Then the next set sail Two places in one time And that's not all In one you're swimming to the limit Then the next you're riding the whales This clever never no man's land Angels whisper that you're winning Shooting stars that leave no trail It took you no time to leave the land When you kissed the King one minute The next you're setting sail Gliding like a whale In and out of hotels --- Gliding Like a Whale - Peter Murphy
