"Gliding Like A Whale"

It only takes the time between here and there
For landing in another place
Saw your shadow fleeting in the corner of my eye
Your feet were skimming the sand
And then some began to fly
Lasted no time at all, no time at all, no time at all

Gliding like a whale
In and out of hotels
Gliding like a whale
In and out of hotels

The flower seller told the tale
Saw you kiss the king one minute
Then the next, set sail
Two places in one time and that's not all
In one you're swimming to the limit
Then the next you're riding whales

This clever never no man's land
Angels whisper that you're winning
And stars that leave no trail
It took you no time to leave the land
When you kissed the king one minute
And the next you're setting sail

Gliding like a whale
In and out of hotels
Gliding like a whale
In and out of hotels

Gliding like a whale
Gliding like a whale
Gliding like a whale
In and out of hotels
Gliding like a whale
