Lyrics Back To San Fernando - Wes Of The Valley

When I was a child I knew how to fly
And though the vision has been fading in my mind's eye
I know the melody will help me return to the sky
High above the Valley with the stars at night
But as I grew a little older
I put aside my golden wings
Turned away from intuition
Until I heard the angels sing

I've tried to write the lyrics down a thousand times
And I've been waiting for the moment when the planets align
To hear the moon and the sun sing an ancient rhyme
Illuminated in the heavens by the neon signs
That I see along the highway
Running through the astral plane
And as I drive on through my dreamland
I now leave behind my pain

And here I go
Back to San Fernando
Where those saints and devils used to know my name
I've done no wrong
But I've been away so long
That all that's left of me is everything that's changed

Twenty seven circles in the spiral sun
And the record spins around until it comes undone
I am the book of revelations and the prodigal son
And I'll be packing my bags when the apocalypse comes
Because the vision keeps returning
In an old familiar song
Now I'm flying with the angels
And I know it won't be long

Before I go
Back to San Fernando
How I long to hear you calling out my name
Sing my song
Like I was never gone
And I'll never hide away again in shame

I'm coming home
