dlxxvii. YES
from Close to the Edge
Making this record was "excruciating," the band said. Bruford, in particular was not a happy camper. He quit the band for King Crimson right after they wrapped and was replaced by Alan White.
Anderson was somehow enamored by the word Khatru, which someone finally told him meant "as you wish" in a Yemeni dialect.

Sing, bird of prey
Beauty begins at the foot of you
Do you believe the manner?
Gold stainless nail
Torn through the distance of man
As they regard the summit
Even Siberia goes through the motions
Hold out and hold up
Hold down the window (Outboard, river)
Hold out the morning that comes into view (Bluetail, tailfly)
River running right on over my head
How does she sing?
Who holds the ring and ring?
And you will find me coming
Cold reigning king
Hold all the secrets from you
As they produce the movement
Even Siberia goes through the motions
Hold out and hold up
Hold down the window (Outboard, river)
Hold out the morning that comes into view (Bluetail, tailfly)
River running right over the
Outboard, river
Bluetail, tailfly
Luther, in time
Hold down the window
Hold out the morning that comes into view
Warm side, the tower
Green leaves reveal the heart spoke Khatru
Gold stainless nail
Torn through the distance of man
As they regard the summit
Cold reigning king
Shelter the women that sing
As they produce their movement
River running right on over then over my head
Outboard, river
Bluetail, tailfly
Luther, in time
Suntower, asking
Cover, lover
June case, moon fast
As one changes
Heart gold, leaver
Soul mark, mover
Christian, changer
Called out, saviour
Moon gate, climber
Turn around glider
