my heart it skips a beat when i behold

the light that's shining through your eyes of gold

from heavenly blood you seem to spring

from heavenly waters you can drink

i'll meet you on a day that never ends

i'll greet you in a way that heaven meant

you lay me down gently on the leaves

you cover me over in my sleep



i never did say that i wish i could

i never could pray cos it's just no good

i hope you don't break my heart of stone

i don't wanna scream out loud

and wake up on my own



and as i close my eyes

and the sky turns red

i realise just what you are

you're an idlers dream

and you're singing shangri la

shangri la

shangri la

shangri la
