Verse 1

The first part, before the acoustic breakout, goes somelthing like this:
Does it go from east to west, y'all
Body free and a body less, y'all
Come again just to start a fresh and
Once again to find a home
In the moment of the meantime

Verse 2

Dropping in coming through the mesh, y'all
Checking in just to get it blessed, y'all
Hard to leave when it's picturesque and
Find a form that's free to roam

Reprieve 1

Where you come from, where you going...

Verse 3

Do it all then it all again
Make it up and you make a friend
Paddle on just around the bend and
Find a place where you can see

Reprieve 2

All the mamas, and the papas

Verse 4

Take a chance on a recommend
Hard as hell just to comprehend
Disbelief that I do suspend and
Easy now to find a breeze

Reprieve 3

Where you come from, Where you going
  
Where you come from, Where you going

Build

  
  
  
  

Stanza 1

We all want to tell her 
Tell her that we love her
Venice gets a queen 
Best I've ever seen 

Stanza 2

We all want to kiss her 
Tell her that we miss her
Venice gets a queen 
Best I've ever

Obstinato 1

I know you said you don't believe
In God do you still disagree
Now that it's time for you to leave
G-L-O-R-I-A
Is love
my friend
My friend,
my friend

Obstinato 2

Your stylish mess of silver hair
A woman of your kind is rare
Your uniform returns to air
G-L-O-R-I-A
Is love
My friend
My friend
My friend

Obstinato 3

And now it's time for you to go
You taught me most of what I know
Where would I be without you Glo
G-L-O-R-I-A
Is love
my friend
My friend
My friend

Obstinato 4

I see you standing by the sea
The waves you made will always be
A kiss goodbye before you leave
G-L-O-R-I-A
Is love
My friend
My friend
My friend
