As The Moon Speaks (Return) - Lyrics - Captain Beyond
The original line-up for Captain Beyond were singer Rod Evans , drummer Bobby Caldwell , guitarist Larry "Rhino" Reinhardt , bassist Lee Dorman and keyboardist Lewie Gold. Gold left due to personal reasons before the first album was recorded. The remaining line-up recorded the self-titled debut album, released in 1972. Following this album Caldwell left the band to join Derringer and was replaced by drummer Brian Glascock. Also joining the band around this time were Reese Wynans on keyboards and Guille Garcia on congas. The record company's chosen producer, Giorgio Gomelsky, did not like Glascock's drumming and requested a new drummer. Glascock was released and Marty Rodriguez was brought in on drums on the recommendation of Garcia. This six man lineup recorded the group's second album, Sufficiently Breathless. Tension during the recording led to Evans quitting. The original lineup reformed later in 1973 for a US tour but the band split up at the end of the year, with Rod Evans retiring from the music business completely.
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
As the moon speaks
To the waves of the sea
An open ocean relic
Of the times it used to be
Many years have passed
Since your vision came to me
And I think of you only
As the moon speaks to the sea.
Memories have only open space to give
And as I think to the past
There's nothing left to see
So future man open your arms to me
Let me hear the wisdom
As the moon speaks to the sea. Yeah!
I can't feel nothing... (4x)
