Slowly he realized he'll have to part
To pawn the one mind I'm hitting so hard
And leave the well he said he knew so well
Something grew inside of him just like a spell
I wish some kind of dream come true
A message that he wants to leave for you
I hope that flame inside still burns
When once the albatross returns
guitar solo
He didn't know if he could really do the flight
The clouds above would hide the guiding light
The mountains that he saw they seemed so high
And loneliness was all he felt up in the sky
guitar solo
Pounding ideas inside began to grow
A burning wish that he wants you to know
I hope that flame inside still burns
When once the albatross returns
guitar solo
guitar solo
guitar solo
guitar solo
guitar solo
guitar solo
guitar solo
guitar solo


Memories came, swaying to and fro And melodies the winds once let you know
Of northern lights and jet streams in the air A call grew louder, nobody would know where
He feels his notion growing stronger He cannot keep it in for any longer
I wish that flame inside still burns When once the albatross returns
The albatross returns
I wish that flame inside still burns When once the albatross returns
The albatross returns
