lyrics

Leo

Born out of wedlock on a starry night
You were dragged screaming into the light
Was given a gift by the Gods above
You repaid it by revealing your love

You knew the secrets of the birds
You talked in pictures not in words
You wrote in code to fool all the spies
At your feet lay the rich the wise

Leo, Leo
Wandering the land
Leo, Leo
When will they ever understand?
Leo, Leo
Wandering the land
Leo, Leo, Leo

One night the stone mouth of truths sold you out
When you asked the soldiers ‘What’s it all about’?
They guard the gates against the winds of change
They sneered ‘Your mind’s too free so it must be chained’!

You saw things no-one else could see
You were the one who held the keys
You opened doors to worlds unknown
You sat next to kings on their thrones

Leo, Leo
Ahead of your time
Leo, Leo
Your truth is passing down the line
Ahead of your time
Leo, Leo, Leo

Your truth is passing down the line
You showed us so many colours and signs
You helped to give back the blind their sight
You turned the darkness into light
Were you sent from heaven above?
From the Ark like a guiding white dove?
Were you sent from heaven above?
From the Ark like a guiding white dove?

One day you gave up the ghost and died
Lisa as always was there right by your side
Last thing you took from this world was her smile
They cried ‘He’s not gone, he’ll be back in a while’

You left us the works of your hands
So in time we could understand
Even though some said you were mad
You were the dad I wish I’d had

Leo, Leo
Bright star in the sky
Leo, Leo
I thank the Lord that you passed by

Leo, Leo
Leo, Leo, Leo

Your truth is passing down the line
You showed us so many colours and signs
You helped to give back the blind their sight
You turned the darkness into light

Leo, Leo
Leo, Leo, Leo
Leo, Leo
Leo, Leo, Leo

Leo, Leo
Leo, Leo, Leo
Leo, Leo
Leo, Leo, Leo
