Description
This song is based on the myth of the Garden of Eden and man's expulsion - the vocal narrative of the song is based on Adam's point of view, with my own interpretation of love, loss and the world. This song is a single to promote my soon to be released album 'Life & Death In The Time Of Enki & Enlil' a thematic album about mythology, mostly based around the Sumerian myths.
Lyrics
Wings To Touch The Sky (CAPO 5) Am C G As I was out walking Am Down by the waterside, C G I spieded a fair young maiden, Am (G) Am With her I’d hope to abide, C G With her I spoke and mingled, Am (G) Am We lay by the ocean tide, C G But we were chained to the Earth, Am And God’s judgement was far and wide. (chorus) C G Am And the day turned to night, C G Am The white turned to black, C G Am Flesh turned to dust, C G Am C And good turned to bad, G C G Am (G) If I don’t have wings how am I meant to fly? And sin came through the land, The stars fell from above, We were banished in the dark, Our heart’s were no match for the Lord, And in the wilderness and pain, Men lived like thieves, We would part from God’s reign, Them and the Lord, her and me. (chorus) As I was out walkin’ By the thorny hillside, Forbidden skies lay before me, With rottin’ fruit and buzzin’ flies, Hand in hand in love we’d fallen, Until she and I would die, Many times would be dawn-lit, Many lives would pass by. (chorus)
