Lyrics
Once there was a song, the song yearned to be sung It was a spinning song about the king of rock 'n' roll The king was first a young prince, the prince was the best With his black jelly hair he crashed onto a stage in Vegas The king had a queen, the queen's hair was a stairway She tended the castle garden and in the garden planted a tree The garden tree was a stairway, it was 15 branches high On the top branch was a nest, sing the high cloudy nest In the nest there was a bird, the bird had a wing The wing had a feather, spin the feather and sing the wind The king in time died, the queen's heart broke like a vow And the tree returned to the earth with the nest and the bird But the feather spun upwards, upwards and upwards Spinning all the weather vanes Spinning up over the streets Spinning up over the crowds Spinning up over the cities Forever spinning Well, this prayer is for you my love Sent on the wings of a dove Upward and upward
