Lyrics: Flight of Dragons
Written By: Jules Bass, Maury Laws
Performed By: Don McLean
Notes: Italics are spoken, not sung
Gorbash! Gorbash! Come!
There was a time,
Between the waning age of enchantment
And the dawning age of logic,
When dragons flew the skies
Free and unencumbered.
Look down there, Gorbash my friend.
On that troubled Earth below us
Confusion and chaos reign.
All mankind is facing an epic choice:
A world of magic or a world of science.
Which will it be?
Flight of dragons
Soar in the purple light
In the sky
Or in my mind
Flight of dragons
Sail past reality
Leave illusion behind
Is it the past I see
When I look up to the heavens
Believing in the magic
That I know could never be
I want to go where they are goin'
Into the world they've been
Can I open up my mind enough to see?
Flight of dragons
Heavenly argosies
Catch the wind
Rise out of sight
Flight of dragons
Flights of fantasy
In the sky
Or in my mind
Flight of dragons
Flight of dragons
