Jupiter Hollow

(album: Northern Lights - Southern Cross - 1975)

Jupiter Hollow
Northern Lights
Cast a glow through the window late last night
I went to follow through the sycamore
When I found myself in a place
I'd never been before
There was a unicorn and a dragon queen
Beneath the burgundy sky
I saw an old soldier singing a love song
He had the distance in his eye

Living in another world
Living in another time
Like a comet I was hurled
Oh, living in another world

Jupiter Hollow
So far, so near
Like a time machine take you out to a different year
Phoebus Apollo played on his lyre
While we danced to the music of the sphere
And as the moon went down and the sun came up
With the mercury rising too
'Twas then the prophet said the secret of the dead
I'll whisper it to you

Living in another world
Living in another time
Like a comet I was hurled
Oh, living in another world

Jupiter Hollow
In the midnight sun
Well, no man of dreams was ever more outdone
Where the swallows circle over head
And muses gather by the river of the tears we shed
Just like a pioneer in the new frontier
I don't know where to begin
Because nobody cares when a man goes mad
And tries to free the ghost within

Living in another world
Living in another time
Like a comet I was hurled
Oh, living in another world
