Kaleidoscope - Freefall

A song by UK band Kaleidoscope from their last album White Faced Lady, recorded in 1970-1971, but shelved until 1991. It starts with sound effects and then with acoustic guitar riff and horns. The chorus has lush orchestral arrangements. The song has some changes in the rhythm and the end is a instrumental part (except for some repeating of the name of the song), with good piano, orchestral arrangements and bird sound effects.

Lyrics:
Let your skirt be a cloud
For I am the rainmaker, Thunder-Month
All the pain of the night
Curled up in the sheets of the sky
From an unbroken dream we'll step naked
To the shore of this coastline
Afraid to awake,
Not ashamed by the shape that we're in
Let your blouse be a breeze
For I am the hand of the sky-ways
Your body will shine
With the unprepared colours of dawn
The wind will appear
As a girl in a Joan of Arc nightdress
She will kiss you
And ask you to follow the flames of the storm

Let the minutes be hours that the seconds are days
That turn slowly to months and leave you amazed
As you sleep on your own in the eye of the crowd
The wind in your hair - the rain in your cloud

Let your body be free
For I am the window-less window
All the streams of the day
Are turning to rivers of night
Your clothes float away
To the rhythm of un-rhythmic heartbeats
All the knots are undone
As you open at last
Freefall, freefall

Let the minutes be hours that the seconds are days
That turn slowly to months and leave you amazed
As you sleep on your own in the eye of the crowd
The wind in your hair - the rain in your cloud

Time is a bridge to be washed away
Everything floats - so they say

Let the minutes be hours that the seconds are days
That turn slowly to months and leave you amazed
As you sleep on your own in the eye of the crowd
The wind in your hair - the rain in your cloud
Freefall, freefall, freefall...
