Anderson pens lyrics for the Yes space song ‘Astral Traveller'

Handwritten lyrics by Jon Anderson for the Yes song ‘Astral Traveller,’ the seventh track from the band’s second studio album, Time and a Word, which was released on July 24, 1970. The lyrics, unsigned, penned in black ink on an off-white 6 x 8 sheet, read in part (spelling retained): “And in the ruins of the balloon / stood a man with glasses held high / wondering when to do it again / have another fly into the sky / somewhere flying high / Asteral traveller leaving without her / Wandering where lights go leave out the body load.” Includes two typed sets of lyrics for the song, one of which is annotated, and a vintage glossy 9.75 x 8 Atlantic Records promotional photo of Yes. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.

Originates from the collection of Roy Flynn, the former manager of Yes.
