THE ORIGINAL MR MISTER VERSION
In a radio interview on 1/27/04, Clay mentioned that IF he sang an 80's rock song in concert that this song, Kyrie eleison, is the one he'd really like to do.
So here it is, as originally done by Mr Mister.
You can download the interview from Airplay Central.
LYRICS
Kyrie eleison - Kyrie eleison - Kyrie eleis -
The wind blows hard
against this mountainside
Across the sea into my soul.
It reaches into where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the road.
My heart is old it holds my memories
My body burns a gemlike flame.
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find myself again.
Chorus:
Kyrie eleison - down the road that I must travel
Kyrie eleison - through the darkness of the night
Kyrie eleison - where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie eleison - on a highway in the light.
When I was young I
thought of growing old
Of what my life would mean to me.
Would I have followed down my chosen road
Or only wished what I could be?

SING IT CLAY! |
