I Never Glid Before - Gong

The light gets stronger and all our eyes look

Yonder to see what’s going on

But that’s all right you’ll soon be out

Of sight and surfing to the sun

The moonwheel’s turning, the waves unfulling you’re

Learning you’re Zero at the centre of the whirlpool

Your aquaman and in your hand is a watering

Can I now or can I not believe it leave it to be

The fun gods winking and we’re all blinking and

Thinking we’re sinking in the sea

You’re in your glider the tide you’re riding inside her

Is turnin with the moony like the sky… boy

Okay, you’re Mister Illusion

Smiling in all this confusion

Cos you’re young today, tomorrow start to play

I’d just like to say

No I never

No I never ever ever glid before

I never — oh no

Last warning tide turning

Moon burning slow motion

Waves that you ride

Just to bolster your pride

But if it’s love that you’re after

The craft of a hero

Will vibe at your side as alone you may glide

With a tiny afterthought

Flashing as the planet calls

I never never glid before

Open up the veil and let us take a peep in

Thru the moon and diving deep we’ll meet the whale

Where rides the captain submarine

Who told the tale of pixies green

That sends us kisses in the brain

And out-far planets never seen

Except by technicolour dream

I never never glid before

That’s another story — now’s the time to go and find

The cuppa tea — see
