about

From the Blackwater Estuary and the Denbigh Peninsula in Essex, moving west to the Middlesex filter beds, to a sleek bar high up in the City of London, a man starts to reflect on his life...

lyrics

White blossom on a blackthorn tree
Red Admiral flitting on the breeze
Stone barges sit in the Mayland clay
Blackwater drips in and out the bay
I’m a glider
I’m a windy ridge slider
I’m a glider yeah

Concrete poured over forgotten hills
The sunset glows on the Bow Road River Mill
Evening falls over the filter beds
Silent swans shimmer by the watershed
I’m a glider
I’m a clear sky climber
I’m a glider yeah

Rise on up, float along
Drifting in the clouds
Time to leave now
For my winter grounds
I’m a glider yeah o-oh
I’m a glider yeah o-oh

You can see the stars from the city bars
On a roof garden where we’ll start our memoires
Our glittering past, oh how time flies
Remember these days with love in our eyes
I’m a glider
I’m a late night rider
I’m a glider yeah

Rise on up, float along
Drifting in the clouds
Time to leave now
For my winter grounds
I’m a glider yeah o-oh
I’m a glider yeah o-oh

Time to leave now
For my winter grounds
