Lyrics This Is Where? - Isildurs Bane, Peter Hammill

This Is Where?

Open and shut, action and cut
Story unfolding
Jungle drum beat, numbers repeat
River is flowing
You carry your past with you at last
Wherever you’re going
Back in the daylight
Making your way in Amazonia
And your friends will protect you now
Nature’s never your enemy
You’ll be back on familiar ground
With your head in the heights of the canopy
Count the cost, what you forgot
What you found, what you lost
It all adds up
In the end you’ve made your way through Amazonia
At the end of the day you made it through the jungle, matter of fact
You never lost your reason, senses intact
You made it through and you’re here to stay
Keeping your chin up and your prospects alive
Keeping your head up while your hopes never died
So you survived and you’re here to stay
In the end you’ve made sense of your Amazonia
In Amazonia
The wind is whistling around your ears
The winder landscape all a-glisten
Burned, those blank pages that you tore out from your diary
You can’t explain, the thoughts are swarming through your head
The lessons have all been read
The chapter’s closing
Your dreams and memories
Hopes and wishes are alive
All the strands of life combined
As in the heavens all the stars fall into line
Past and future intertwine
This is where we say goodbye
This is where
