Billy and Bella Music

Lyrics

One hundred seconds ’til midnight
And Summer sleeps alone
Violets bloom along the road
Draped in tears of dew

The doctor says to hew a stone
Of hope from a mountain of despair
Forgiveness does not ease the pain
So do no harm instead.

Onward Shangrila my friend
Onward to Shangrila
We’ll glide into the setting sun
To the glory of love without end

In January a blind man
Trades in daisy chains
He fashions from bottle caps
For change to pay Charon.

Behind bars of willow switch
A man folds paper birds
Against a feather his heart is weighed
He’ll fly over the rainbow bridge someday

Onward Shangrila my friend
Onward to Shangrila
We’ll glide into the setting sun
To the glory of love without end

If there is a creator
I know she’s slippin’ jokers in the deck
Wild cards give us a fighting chance
To beat con mean at their own game

Onward Shangrila my friend
Onward to Shangrila
We’ll glide into the setting sun
To the glory of love without end

Onward Shangrila my friend
Onward to Shangrila
We’ll glide into the setting sun
To the glory of love without end
