Crosby, Stills

Winchester  Cathedral


Crosby Stills Nash





Winchester  Cathedral 



Six o' clock
in the morning I feel pretty good
So I dropped into the luxury of the Lords
fighting dragons and crossing swords
with the people against the hordes who came to conquer
 

Seven o'clock
in the morning here it comes I taste the warning
and I'm so amazed I'm here today
seeing things so clear this way
in the car and on my way to Stonehenge
 

I'm flying in Winchester cathedral


Sunlight pouring through the break of day
stumbled through the door and into the chamber
There's a lady setting flowers on a table covered lace
and a cleaner in the distance finds a cobweb on a face
and a feeling deep inside of me
tells me this can't be the place


I'm flying in Winchester cathedral


All religion has to have its day
expressions on the face of the Savior
made me say
I can't stay


 Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here


Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
for anyone to heed the call
So many people have died in the name of Christ
that I can't believe it all


Now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
and the day he died it was a birthday
and I noticed it was mine
and my head didn't know just who I was
and I went spinning back in time


And I am high upon the altar
High upon the altar, high


 I'm flying in Winchester cathedral


It's hard enough to drink the wine
The air inside just hangs in delusion
but given time
I'll be fine


 Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here


Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
for anyone to heed the call
Too many people have died in the name of Christ
that I can't believe it all


And now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
and the day he died it was a birthday
and I noticed it was mine
and my head didn't know just who I was
and I went spinning back in time


And I am high upon the altar
High upon the altar, high
