Memory of a Free Festival Lyrics - David Bowie

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

2 We played our songs and felt the London sky resting on our hands

3 It was God's land

4 It was ragged and naive

5 It was Heaven

6 Touch, we touched the very soul of holding each and every life

7 We claimed the very source of joy ran through

8 It didn't, but it seemed that way

9 I kissed a lot of people that day

10 Oh, to capture just one drop of all the ecstasy that swept that afternoon

11 To paint that love upon a white balloon

12 And fly it from the toppest top of all the tops that man has pushed beyond his brain

13 Satori must be something just the same

14 We scanned the skies with rainbow eyes and saw machines of every shape and size

15 We talked with tall Venusians passing through

16 And Peter tried to climb aboard but the Captain shook his head and away they soared

17 Climbing through the ivory vibrant cloud

18 Someone passed some bliss among the crowd and we walked back to the road, unchained

19 The Sun Machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party
