Ballerina from Leopard(single) by gary stewart

Sign yourself away to the promised land
Father Time no longer sways
Mother Earth she slips away like sand
Tie your sails, to her tail

Seven stars they rise up above our heads
Plough the earth for one more night
Constellations sew a distant thread
But lucent eyes realise

Spread like a starfish, the point's on the cross and you know
You're gonna die
But a slight ballerina who spins in the ether, you know she's gonna fly
Yes you know, she's gonna fly

Churchyard junkies strung out on borrowed words
Preach the sermon, hear no song
Thoughtless words are thrown in drunken herds
What went wrong?

Spread like a starfish, the point's on the cross and you know
You're gonna die
But a slight ballerina who spins in the ether, you know she's gonna fly
Yes you know, she's gonna fly

There's no reason left to be alone
There's no time worth spending here
So plant your house upon some foreign stone
Let it grow, all will know

Spread like a starfish, the point's on the cross and you know
You're gonna die
But a slight ballerina who spins in the ether, you know she's gonna fly
Yes you know, she's gonna fly
