The Sky Parade

As I stood on cliffs of soapstone
Dipped in emerald green
An albatross attracts my gaze
And leads me to the sea

Copper skies and dragonflies
And gold confetti stars
That's when I saw the sky parade
With Jupiter and Mars
Not far away
Red sun, ready son
It's where they're heading for
It's where they're heading
They all move as one
Towards the sun
Red sun, ready son
It's where they're heading for
It's where they'rе heading
They all move as onе
Towards the sun

Tufts of cloud in syrup sky
Are playing tug of war
With biscuit tins and aeroplanes
And all the neighbours' dogs

Marches led by Sergeant Snail
His uniform's divine
With all the bells and whistles
But he still can't keep the time
And it drags on

Red sun, ready son
It's where they're heading for
It's where they're heading
They all move as one
Towards the sun
Red sun, ready son
It's where they're heading for
It's where they're heading
They all move as one
Towards the sun
