Song lyrics

Does it go from east to west, y'all

Body free and a body less, y'all

Come again just to start afresh and

Once again to find a home

In the moment of the meantime

Dropping in coming through the mesh, y'all

Checking in just to get it blessed, y'all

Hard to leave when it's picturesque and

Find a form that's free to roam


Where you come from, where you're going?

Where you come from, where you're going?


Do it all then it all again, y'all

Make it up and you make a friend, y'all

Paddle on just around the bend and

Find a place where you can see

All the mamas and the papas

Take a chance on a recommend, y'all

Hard as hell just to comprehend, y'all

Disbelief that I do suspend and

Easy now to find a breeze


Where you come from, where you're going?

Where you come from, where you're going?


We all want to tell her, tell her that we love her

Venice gets a queen, best I've ever seen

We all want to kiss her, tell her that we miss her

Venice gets a queen, best I've ever


I know you said you don't believe in God

We used to disagree

Now that it's time for you to leave


G-L-O-R-I-A

Is love, my friend

My friend, my friend


Your stylish mess of silver hair

A woman of your kind is rare

Your uniform returns to air


G-L-O-R-I-A

Is love, my friend

My friend, my friend


And now it's time for you to go

You taught me most of all I know

Where would I be without you, Glo?


G-L-O-R-I-A

Is love, my friend

My friend, my friend


I see you standing by the sea

The waves you made will always be

Your kiss goodbye before you leave


G-L-O-R-I-A

Is love, my friend

My friend, my friend
