Donovan - Shape In The Sky Lyrics






There's a shape in the sky beckoning me
There's a sound in the wild wind calling
There's a song to be sung for glory
And I feel that it's coming our way

There's a pain on the land weakening me
There's a sigh in the city of sorrow
There's a shadow of darkness accumulating
And I feel that it's coming my way

Father of all things, Mother of light
Soothe and ease our human plight
Mary in mercy, Jesus in joy
Please, won't you help us win the fight?

There's a love for all men sleeping within
There's a friend of a friend awakening
There's a jubilant joy bursting to be
And I feel that it's coming our way

Father of all things, Mother of light
Soothe and ease our human plight
Mary in mercy, Jesus in joy
Please, won't you help us win the fight?

There's a shape in the sky beckoning me
There's a sound in the wild wind calling
There's a song to be sung for glory
And I feel that it's coming our way

There's a shape in the sky beckoning me
There's a sound in the wild wind calling
There's a song to be sung for glory
And I feel, yes, I feel, yes, I feel
That it's coming our way

Donovan Shape In The Sky Comments
  1. R.... W....

    Thanks for this gem. Praises to you and YouTube. I thought that I had all of the Donovan videos and recordings.

  2. D.... B....

    I have a feeling that this was one of those Bootleg compilations put together by Pat Hehir for the Donovan Fanzine - this would be around 1990-1992.

    Most of these tracks I have never heard - so thanks and great to listen to stuff which is 'new-old' :)

    D.... B....

    You may very well be correct! I honestly have no idea about that, so I appreciate your educated guess. Thanks for your comment!

  3. C.... R....

    Thank you very much for this little treasure!

    Shape in the sky is from the film Brother Sun, Sister Moon. Unfortunately, I think the soundtrack was never released on LP. In 2005 Donovan compiled some of those beautiful songs on ITunes.
