"Glory Ride" lyrics - ROGER CHAPMAN

Alice was all naked - bathing in the spring
Leaping from my mountain - said, "I'm coming in"
Met deep down underwater - tasted the first sin
Re-created heaven - drank the blood of kings
Oh, that was a glory ride
Oh, that was a glory ride

This dancer was my spirit - an elfin of her time
Thumbelina spinning round - pirouettes of fire
A highland fling to fascinate any vacant mind
Love enough to give as we suckled from the vine
Oh, that was a glory ride
Oh, that was a glory ride

We'd climb up to the tower - high, nestled in the pines Drift away for days and days - watch the
World unwind We'd light a hundred candles - shield us from the night She'd open up her
"Powers" and let the glory shine
Oh, that was a glory ride
Oh, that was a glory ride

My gypsy woman held me and whispered, "not too soon"
Within the mask of darkness - I wrestled with the news
When the blanket on the ground burst like a fat balloon
To the music of the campfire - we bit the wicked moon
Oh, that was a glory ride
Oh, that was a glory ride
