lyrics
There are pirates selling poppies to the angels on the beaches
They come all the way from Spain just to lay them at their feet
And then they all get sung to sleep
Where their dreams seem to drift between heaven and hell
There's a gypsy on the highway whose horse has fallen down
It kicked up so much dust you could see it all over town
You can see she feels like screaming but she never makes a sound
So who's going to tell
And there is a pilgrim in the desert waiting for his God to come
He stands in a dried up lake, weak from whiskey, blind from rum
The clouds form frightening shapes as his vision starts to come
So he shoots them with his gun
And just then it starts to rain for the first time in ten years straight
You and I wouldn't call it a miracle but you must agree it's strange
And then he lies down, he pulls his hat over his face
He drowns to death in that very same lake
The rain it finally stopped the day that he was found
They dragged him out the water and they stuck him in the ground
And there was no one there to recognise the sound
Of a hundred thousand angels singing from the beach
They pulled him up to heaven and laid poppies at his feet
Before they sent him sailing off to meet
The only real object of his dreams
Well this boy has walked for miles til his shoes have fallen apart
He walks to fill the void that occupies his heart
He walks for all the trapped and bound, the broken beaten down
He walks for all the troubled souls, so lost they can't be found
For the ones who lie awake at night dreaming of the sun
But in the morning they just sleep until it's gone
Why did you dream your life away before it had begun?
I guess we're all like that pilgrim- counting on someone
To fix all of the problems and to work out what was wrong
We've got so much love inside us dear
But if we don't share it out it will disappear
