Spirit On The Water — текст песни (The Barclay James Harvest)

There`s a spirit floating on the water
There`s a shadow lying down by the shore
Wasn`t he there a year before?
A sacrifice for the coat he`s wearing
A `paradise` for the lady
Who dares colour him red upon the shore?

We carry the burden upon our shoulder
We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
Don`t you care about the state you`re in
Or don`t you understand?

See the spirit floating on the water
See the shadow lying down by the shore
Wasn`t he there some years before?


We carry the burden upon our shoulder
We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
Don`t you care about the state you`re in
Or don`t you understand?
