lyrics

The gilded albatross is free
The gilded albatross is free
He raised his head and arched his wings
And now he hovers high above the sea
The gilded albatross is free
He's soaring higher than any man has gone
And though he flies for you and me
There is no place that he'd rather be
Free no longer weighing old men down
No more to pull gems from their crowns
The gilded albatross is free
Free from the pain and from the infamy
And though they set him down in stone
Now his wings are light he's on his own
Free no longer weighing old men down
No more to pull gems from their crowns
And after all he's seen and all he's done
You could truly say his life has just begun.
Who was that old bird they sent our way?
He was an old friend from yesterday (from yesterday)
The gilded albatross is free
The gilded albatross is free
The gilded albatross is free
The gilded albatross is free

Though for truly stellar guitar work I turn to Mark Abbruzzese and Eric Endo. ... more
