Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sister Bluebird
Flying high above
Shine your wings
Forward to the sun
Hide the mysteries
Of life on your way
Though you've seen them
Please don't say a word
What you don't know
I have never heard
Starship Trooper
Go sailing on by
Catch my soul
Catch the very night
Hide the moment
From my eager eyes
Though you've seen there
Please don't tell a soul
[Verse 2]
What you can't see
Can't be very whole
Speak to me of summer
Long winters longer
Than time can remember
Setting up of other roads
To travel on in old accustomed ways
I still remember
The talks by the water
The proud sons and daughters
That knew the knowledge of the land,
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
[Verse 3]
Mother life
Hold firmly onto me
Catch my knowledge
Higher than the day
[Verse 4]
Release as much
As only you can show
Though you've seen me,
Please don't say a word
What I don't know
I have never shared
[Verse 5]
Loneliness is a power
That we possess to give or take away
Forever
[Verse 6]
All I know can be shown by your acceptance
Of the facts there shown
Before you
Take what I say in a different way
And it's easy to see
That this is all confusion
As I see a new day in me
I can also show if you and you may
Follow
Speak to me of summer
Long winters longer
Than time can remember
[Verse 7]
Setting up of other roads
To travel on
In old accustomed ways
I still remember
The talks by the water
The proud sons and daughters that
Knew the knowledge of the land
Spoke to me
In sweet accustomed ways
Written by: Chris Squire, Jon Anderson, Steve Howe
