Story behind the song
That long climb up the ladder to Heaven, sometimes we have to take a few steps back down !!
Lyrics
"PURPLE HEAVEN"
THIS TAPESTRY OF LIFE WE LIVE
IS WOVEN FROM THE THREADS OF DESTINY
SO HAND TO ME THE SWORD - I'LL CUT IT DOWN
AND START AGAIN --- IF ONLY
THE PATHWAY THAT WE SEEK
BECOMING CLEARER, ONLY WHEN
THE JOURNEY YET TO COME, HAS BEEN DECIDED
AND BEGUN
FATE THAT CHOOSES EVERY STEP
IS SOMETIMES UP AND SOMETIMES DOWN
TO BE BORN - BE A CHILD AND THEN A MAN
TO WATCH A LIFE JUST FADE AWAY
AND RE-UNITE WITH MOTHER EARTH
AND THINGS THAT COME TO PASS
WE SEE THEM ALL -- WE FEEL THEM ALL.
PURPLE HEAVEN 2
ALIGATOR SKY IS BLOWIN'
HEADING SOUTH, THE HURRICANE IS COMIN'
SMELL OF BLOSSOM FALLING DOWN
WATCHING THE GROUND TEARING APART
CAN I ESCAPE THIS SPIRAL DREAD
LIGHT AS AIR THAT SWIRLS AROUND
AND SOFT AS GRASS UPON THE GROUND
SWEET AS THE NECTAR OF THE HONEY BEE
MY CIRCLE IS COMPLETE
HOW DID WE BUILD THIS FALSE PRETENCE
CRUSHED BY THE ANGRY CRY OF MOTHER NATURE
THROWING THE BREAD AT THE FUNERAL PYRE
FEEDING THE DEAD AS THEY - CRUMBLE INTO ASHES
THE LADDER TO THE SKY GETS HIGHER
RISING WITH THE WIND
LIFE IS A CIRCUS IT'S A HIGH WIRE ACT
THE CLOWNS THAT MAKE US SMILE
SO WHO WILL BE THE RINGMASTER
WHEN ALL IS DONE
A MASQUERADE , A PAINTED FACE
WHO ARE WE WHEN NAKED AND EXPOSED
DID YOU CALL MY NAME AND DID YOU SAY THAT IT WAS TIME
NO MORE NECTAR FROM THE HONEY BEE
THE CIRCLE'S INCOMPLETE !
