about

This song was written about and is dedicated to Neil Ellwood Peart 1952 - 2020. Rarely does the world get to encounter such a multi-faceted, and supremely talented soul. We are all left the lesser for his parting; yet his journey through the world leaves behind a significant mark in the worlds of family and friendship, music, poetry, and scholarship.

lyrics

Like a ghost riding rolling through the stages
With life so unfair like a sea as it rages

Loves you had lost you professed on the pages
Waving your wands and a pen for the ages

chorus
An angel of the clockwork
A songbird that makes the lock work

Opening up to free our minds
Turning the gears to release our binds

We still read you between the lines
Heard between each click of clock that chimes

Of prose you chose that eternal shines
The lightning stick (struck) to change our lives

Symbol escaping traps and a snare
People all watching as you float through the air

Fragment of light of who you truly are.
Blaze across the heavens like a brilliant shooting star

chorus
An angel of the clockwork
A songbird that makes the lock work

Opening up to free our minds
Turning the gears to release our binds


Lyrics by Phil Mackay
In Memory of Neil Ellwood Peart
