MEMORY OF A FREE FESTIVAL from Space Oddity 


INTRO:          
                  
                
                  


             
The Children o

              
f the summer's

  
 end
            
Gathered in th

           
e dampened gra

ss
            
We played Our 

              
songs and felt

     
 the London sk

y
             
Resting on our

              
 hands it was 


God's land
             
It was ragged 

              
and naive it w

        
as Heaven


             
Touch, We touc

             
hed the very s


oul
            
Of holding eac

            
h and every li

fe
            
We claimed the

              
 very source o

     
f joy ran thro

ugh
             
It didn't, but

              
 it seemed tha

  
t way
             
I kissed a lot

              
 of people tha

      
t day


             
Oh, to capture

   
 just one drop

 
            
Of all the ecs

           
tasy that swep

         
t that afterno

on
             
To paint that 

             
love upon a wh

       
ite balloon
              
And fly it fro

            
m the toppest 

            
top of all the

 
 tops 
           
That man has p

        
ushed beyond h

is brain
             
Satori must be

             
 something jus

            
t the same
 
             
We scanned the

            
 skies with ra


inbow eyes 
            
And saw machin

            
es of every sh

         
ape and size
             
We talked with

             
 tall Venusian

             
s passing thro

ugh
              
And Peter trie

     
d to climb abo

ard 
            
But the Captai

            
n shook his he

         
ad
            
And away they 

soared
             
Climbing throu

             
gh the ivory v

       
ibrant cloud
             
Someone passed

             
 some bliss am

        
ong the crowd
             
And We walked 

             
back to the ro

 
ad, unchained
