Behind the Eye Of The Mind (1979 electric original)
The birds fly high over the forest
Over the leaves now tinged with brown
The birds fly high over the forest
Over the leaves now tinged with brown
Fly to the south where the sun still beckons
Fly to the south where the sun still beckons
Fly to the south where the sun still beckons
From behind the eye of the mind, yeah
Wings that lift them into the sunrise
Up to the cold of the morning air
Wings that lift them into the sunrise
Up to the cold of the morning air
Carry the traveller over the mountain
Carry the traveller over the mountain
Carry the traveller over the mountain
From behind the eye of the mind, yeah
Some will fall below their comrades
Losing the height that they must maintain
Some will fall below their comrades
Losing the height that they must maintain
Unavailing, and all feathers flailing
Unavailing, and all feathers flailing
Unavailing, and all feathers flailing
From behind the eye of the mind, yeah
In strength of wing, the first arrival
Alights in the dust of his summer home
In strength of wing, the first arrival
Alights in the dust of his summer home
And many's the instinct that carries the migrant
Many's the instinct that carries the migrant
Many's the instinct that carries the migrant
From behind the eye of the mind, yeah
The birds fly high over the forest
Over the leaves now tinged with brown
The birds fly high over the forest
Over the leaves now tinged with brown
Fly to the south where the sun still beckons
Fly to the south where the sun still beckons
Fly to the south where the sun still beckons
From behind the eye of the mind, yeah
Over the leaves now tinged with brown
The birds fly high over the forest
Over the leaves now tinged with brown
Fly to the south where the sun still beckons
Fly to the south where the sun still beckons
Fly to the south where the sun still beckons
From behind the eye of the mind, yeah
Wings that lift them into the sunrise
Up to the cold of the morning air
Wings that lift them into the sunrise
Up to the cold of the morning air
Carry the traveller over the mountain
Carry the traveller over the mountain
Carry the traveller over the mountain
From behind the eye of the mind, yeah
Some will fall below their comrades
Losing the height that they must maintain
Some will fall below their comrades
Losing the height that they must maintain
Unavailing, and all feathers flailing
Unavailing, and all feathers flailing
Unavailing, and all feathers flailing
From behind the eye of the mind, yeah
In strength of wing, the first arrival
Alights in the dust of his summer home
In strength of wing, the first arrival
Alights in the dust of his summer home
And many's the instinct that carries the migrant
Many's the instinct that carries the migrant
Many's the instinct that carries the migrant
From behind the eye of the mind, yeah
The birds fly high over the forest
Over the leaves now tinged with brown
The birds fly high over the forest
Over the leaves now tinged with brown
Fly to the south where the sun still beckons
Fly to the south where the sun still beckons
Fly to the south where the sun still beckons
From behind the eye of the mind, yeah
