Van Der Graaf Generator - Pilgrims lyrics

Sometimes you feel so far away,
distanced from all the action of the play,
unable to grasp significance,
marking the plot with diffident dismay,
stranded at centre stage,
scrabbling through your diary for a lost page:
unsure of the dream.
Kicking a stone across the beach,
aching for love & comfort out of reach:
the way ahead seems to be so bleak,
theres no-one with any friendship left to speak
or show any relation
between your present & future situations...
lost to the dream.
Away, away, away--look to the future day
for hope, some form of peace
within the growing storm.
I climb through the evening,
alive & believing
in time we shall all know our goals
and so, finally, home;
for now, all is secret -
though how could I speak it,
allow me the dream in my eye!
I have been waiting for such a long time
just to see it at last, all of the hands tightly clasped,
all of us pilgrims.
Walking in silence down the coast,
merely to journey - here hope is the most,
merely to know there´s an end;
all of us - lovers, brothers, sisters, friends
hand in hand.
Shining footprints on the wet sand
lead to the dream.
The time has come, the tide has almost run
and drained the deep: I rise from lifelong sleep.
It seems such a long time
I have dreamed but now, awake,
I can see we´re pilgrims & so
must walk this road,
unknown in our purpose,
alone, but not worthless,
and home ever calling us on.
We have been waiting here for so long,
all of our hands joined in hope,
holding the weight on the rope
all of us pilgrims.
