Ravi Shankar: Parachutist

Lyrics

Seven horses for seven kings Aren't never enough in the fields Where the targets are built That sport may remain And sky is black as night Divulge the presence of parachutes

Now we've both got brown shoes And roads now lead down there What will become of them now That spotlights shine now and then And show parachutes?

There was a flying constellation Ravi saw it far below In the air, he drew a picture What he saw, I do not know Through the air, I saw him diving All above him stirred the silk Parachute of my memory Where he landed no one knows

For I too am lame And feeling as she pleases Pleases me
