Across The Universe
Words are flowing out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of love
are ringing through my opened ears
view inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Information
This song is about the process of writing songs or
the process of creativity in general. Apparently, the words "pools of
sorrow, waves of joy" came to John as he was lying in bed after an argument
with Cythia. It was written after after the Beatles met the Maharishee
Mahesh Yogi and Guru Dev, his guru, is mentioned in the chorus. John
plays guitar on David Bowie's cover version to the song on his Young
Americans album.
