aka Valleys of Neptune ... Arising

June 7, 1969


Lyrics

1.
I feel the ocean swaying me ...
washing away all my pains.
See where I was wounded,
Remember the scar ?
Now you can’t see a thing ...
And I feel no pain --

Singing about the Valley of Sunsets
Green and blue ... Canyons too
Singing about Atlantis love songs.
The Valleys of Neptune is arising.

2.

Mercury liquid ... Emerald’s shining
Telling me where I came from --
Honey Sun ... Pourquise Bed he
lays in -- ... on the Burning
edge Horizon.

I’m sailing on the Bluebird’s mission ...
Bubble and curls and tiptoes in the foam --
See the wind make love to all
the ocean ... Joy spread and
the massage got home --

Singing about the Valley of Sunsets ...
Purple and gold ... the Armies of the Lord
Before ancient Egypt, there were moon trips ...
The Valleys of Neptune is arising --

3.

Look out East coast, but you’re
gonna have a neighbor,
A rebirth land ...
the praying Burning Sands.

We know there were worlds
so much older ...
And they shall rise, and
tell us much more the truth of man --

4.

I see visions of sleeping peaks
erupting ...
releasing all hell that
will shake the Earth from end to end --
And this ain’t bad news, good news,
or any news ... it’s just the truth,
Better save your souls while
you can --

Singing about the New Valleys
of the Sunrise ... Rainbow clean,
the world is gonna be ...
Singing about getting ready for the new tide ...
The Valleys of Neptune is arising.
