Ode to Erai

Tribute/Parody to Seagull by Bad Company.

Erai, you fly across the horizon
Into the misty morning sun
Nobody asks you where you are going,
Nobody knows where you're from

There is a poet asking the question
Is this really the end of the world?
Erai, you must have known for a long time
The shape of things to come

Now you fly, through the sky, never asking why,
And you fly all around
till the demon of the spirits,
shoots you down

Erai, you fly, across the horizon,
Into the misty morning sun.
Nobody asks you why you are drinking
No one begrudges your rum

Now you fly through the sky, never asking why,
And you fly all around
till the demon rum with it's curse
Shoots you down.

Ooooooooh, Erai
My heart lifts when you fly

And you fly away today
And you fly away tomorrow
As you fly and take my heart
Leave me to my sorrow.

Then you fly, on high
Inspire my faith in light

Then you fly, so high
Send all the darkness to night!

Fly away today
Fly away tomorrow,
Fly, it makes me cry
leaves me full of sorrow,

Fly.. {hold the word}
Erai {hold the word}

{Slow picking in a major key}
{End and the light goes out}
