'''I. Life Seeker'''
Sister bluebird flying high above
Shine your wings forward to the sun
Hide the myst'ries of life on your way
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word
What you don't know, I have never heard
Starship trooper, go sailing on by
Catch my soul, catch the very light
Hide the moment from my eager eye
Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul
What you can't see, can't be very whole
Speak to me of summer
Long winters longer than time can remember
The setting up of other roads
To travel on in old accustomed ways
I still remember the talks by the water
The proud sons and daughter
That knew the knowledge of the land
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
Mother life, hold firmly on to me
Catch my knowledge higher than the day
Lose as much as only you can show
Though you've seen me, please don't say a word
What I don't know, I have never shared
'''II. Disillusion'''
Loneliness is a power that we possess to give or take away forever
All I know can be shown by your acceptance of the facts there shown before you
Take what I say in a different way and it's easy to say that this is all confusion
As I see a new day in me, I can also show it you and you may follow
Speak to me of summer
Long winters longer than time can remember
The setting up of other roads
To travel on in old accustomed ways
I still remember the talks by the water
The proud sons and daughter
That knew the knowledge of the land
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways

Poacher Apr 24, 2013 - 02:57	I recently downloaded the entire Yes discovery and had a Prog Rock weekend (much to the amusement of Mrs Poacher). I could not find any loons or tie die tshirts hidden in the wardrobe though. However, it was interesting that I listened to a couple of Yes Albums I had not heard for over 40 years - and I found myself remembering the words. Compare that with sometimes not remembering where I parked my car. . . short term memory loss. . . must be something to do with the tea I am drinking or something. Anyway, this track in particular has been an anthem for me for most of my life and still hits the spot. Hurrah for RP! [ Reply ]

(Was fortunate to see them live; November 1971. NYC Academy of Music. Blew the house away. Triple bill: with King Crimson and Procol Harem. I was seventeen years old.) Would have loved to see that triple bill! Sweet. Only managed to see King Crimson in Ottawa when Fripp was in his shredding wall-paper stage and I was unfamiliar with the music. For fans of the old King Crimson, please do give Steven Wilson's Raven that refused to sing CD a listen or two. [ Reply ]

westslope Mar 23, 2013 - 15:38	If I recall this was the Yes gateway song. ST has survived well over the years. But then I'm an unabashed fan since a young age. Since this came out. [ Reply ]

Chris's bass and Howe's guitar is outstanding [ Reply ]

I mean, honestly, utter rubbish. I don't agree at all with your comments, although I love your use of words. I love the vocals and the chord changes, and this song has not aged for me. To each his own... [ Reply ]
bobzane Feb 20, 2013 - 05:11	I have become the guy who says "I saw Yes open for Tull in '71." May the gods have mercy on my soul. [ Reply ]

WonderLizard Dec 19, 2012 - 12:49	I've always had a love/not-like-very-much relationship with prog as a genre and Yes in particular. But, in addition to Howe's guitar, the vocals on this are amazing. [ Reply ]

jchap5 Aug 15, 2012 - 18:39	This is forever linked to Frank Herbert's "Dune". Read the book while wearing out every Yes LP I owned. [ Reply ]
