Борис Гребенщиков (Boris Grebenshchikov)
Promises of Eden
[Verse 1]
We've set our sails on sunrise
Just like the scriptures say
They have said they're building heaven, so it could
Be awkward, if we stay
And the watchmen in their towers
Somehow have failed to see, how

[Chorus]
We dance away
We sail away
From their promises of Eden

[Verse 2]
We hail Ye, Pretty Maidens
And Ye, Weary Travellers — Hail!
Rest in peace, for there's no science that can unfold
The mysteries of our sails
And while their wise men ponder
New ways to set us free

[Chorus]
We dance away
We smile away
From their promises of Eden
[Verse 3]
Some say this ship is crazy
Some say this ship is lost
But the Lady Fair, who's keeping us afloat
Is still fairer than the most
And while the full moon wanders
Above this ageless sea

[Chorus]
We dance away
We smile away
From their promises of Eden
Dance away
We smile away
From their promises of Eden
