Sweet Chariots
GANESH SESHADRI, JOHN HANEY
Starry midnight, robed in shadows
Give my weary heart release
Spread your sable covering mantle
Over me, to rest in peace
And my eyes are staring blankly
And my teeth are shining bright
And sweet, sweet chariots
They roll across the sky
Sweet, sweet chariots
They roll across the sky
Midnight prowlers of the jungle
Steal beneath the holy shade
Just as the breath obscures the mirror
So reflections slowly fade
And my voice is ever singing
And my soul is full of light
Thundercloud, black and grey
Getting darker every day
I am blessed, I am an angel
And my wings are silver-white
