Alien

I sleep on the wing Above the rainclouds Blown by the wind (no roots on earth) No ground below (no ground below) Just ruins (timeless) Dandelion clocks (drifting) Am I from Venus? (higher, higher) No ocean bed, no west-wind drift No desert sand, land or sea No world below, blown by the wind (limbless) (homeless) Not human Lost in longing (lost in longing) Never belonging (never belonging) Am I from Venus? (higher, higher, higher) No roots on earth (I sleep on the wing) Nowhere I search (above the rainclouds) No roots on earth (blown by the wind) No ground below Timeless (just ruins) Drifting (dandelion clocks) Higher, higher, higher, higher Blown by the wind Above the rainclouds (no roots on earth) Evening starlight The night's below (no lights below) Just ruins (no ocean bed) (rootless) Dandelion clocks (no west-wind drift) (drifting) Am I from Venus? (higher, higher) (no desert sand) --- Alien - Robert Wyatt
