Thanx so much for this, one of Al's best song, tho' I know that's a hell of a claim. Been a fan for years. Any chance of 'Lady of the island' or the one that starts 'with your coloured plates of Kitty hawk and the (?) biplanes on the wall......
@gerlan1234to@Lady of the Islands' is called 'Sand in your shoes', it's here on YouTube somewhere; the one mentioning Kitty Hawk is 'Flying Sorcery' - I think it's on here as well.
@BillTheBard thanks for info, I've now found both songs. I used to listen to this album all the time but never really took much notice of the track titles. We live and learn.
Brilliant, profound, shaking. Who today would write a lyric like "conquistador in search of gold for all the jackdaw reasons"? There are very few people who are completely unaffected by the Midas Shadow.
How to compare such songs with the "songs" of today?
Simply brilliant! (and the live versions with Dave Nachmanoff are unbelievable).

Some bittersweet feeling of this tune I've got. Like take on the water with sieve. Beutiful feeling of vanity. Thanks.
