The Memory Of A Free Festival Lyrics - Space Oddity - David Bowie

The children of the summer's end gathered in the dampened grass 

We played our songs and felt the London sky 

resting on our hands -- it was God's land 

It was ragged and naive -- it was Heaven 

Touch, we touched the very soul 

of holding each and every life 

We claimed the very source of joy ran through 

It didn't, but it seemed that way 

I kissed a lot of people that day 

Oh, to capture just one drop of all the ecstasy 

that swept that afternoon 

To paint that love upon a white balloon 

And fly it from the toppest top of all the tops that man has pushed 

beyond his brain 

Satori must be something just the same 

We scanned the skies with rainbow eyes and saw machines 

of every shape and size 

We talked with tall Venusians passing through 

And Peter tried to climb aboard but the Captain shook his head 

and away they soared, 

Climbing through the ivory vibrant cloud 

Someone passed some bliss among the crowd 

and we walked back to the road, unchained
