Solid Space
Jon Anderson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold my life
Cross the path
Course and curl my dreams away

Fast the soul
Make the break
As even as the stars that form the way
Rider

Turn a mountain send them lost
Among the flowers of the young

Turn a mountain send them lost
Among the flowers of the young

Rider Rider Rider

Hold my life
Cross the path
Course and curl my dreams away

Fast the soul
Make the break
As even as the stars that form the way





Rider Rider Rider Rider Rider
