lyrics

I have seen the towers of light
Their stones gleam in sun in red and white
Oh, I can see the dawn to this day

Yeah I remember the gulls against the sky
The wings and waves applaud; a yammering goodbye
Oh, I can hear the call to this day

Ooh blow a kiss along
How long will I be gone?

I have seen some glimmers in the night
So high above the sea, so far beyond my fright
Oh, I'm not scared to die, not today

I've had a vision of being welcomed home
Celestial surprise up where I belong
Oh, following the word every day

The ocean stretches on, the summer's almost gone
How long I'll be away I can't say
When latitude is wrong and thunder's come along
We curse and drink and pray
So blow a kiss along, how long will I be gone?

I have seen a city flood with gold
A savage city falls; I do what I'm told
Oh, I can see the sorrow to this day

Yeah I know the trouble of clothes stained with blood
Of swords stuck in limbs, of boots filled with mud
Yeah, I know how to conquer to this day

The jungle above my head still smells like something dead
Is it us? Is it them? I can't say
The shadows flit across my room—they spell out DOOM! They spell out DOOM!
Is it the Devil? Is it God? I can't say
So blow a kiss along, how long will I be gone?
