Osians Lament (I Can see My Heaven)
Osians Lament (I Can See My Heaven) King/King/Gibbard

The story of Osian and Nia Ben Aur tells of restlessness and longing and searching for greener pastures. This was a signature song from ‘Dylan' the musical about Dylan Thomas.



Turn, turn, turn

Like a little bird trapped in a cage

Turn, turn, turn

For what seems like an eternal age

Longing to float on the breeze and fly through the morning sky

Needing the freedom, the freedom to fly and to fly and to fly



Across the sea

Through the mist is the long distant sun

Across the sea

The clay has just begun

I 'm longing to be with my people and sing their simple song

I’m not a stranger, not an enemy: but I know that I don’t belong



I can see my heaven

But I can’t get there

See the shore from the other side

I can see the bridge that I need to cross

Through the mists of the morning tide



There's no pain deeper than being alone

In a crowd of lonely souls

Why can’t they hear the questions I ask

And answer before life grows cold
