The video is included on both the 'Elements' and 'The Wind Chimes' videos. TWC is out of production, but I believe you can still buy Elements in well stocked shops...If not, you should be able to find copies for sale in online auctions. They're both from Virgin.
If you're not the type to let things such as copyright get in your way, of course, you may find some places with it online...oldfield.dk used to have it, but since having certain technical difficulties, it's no longer there. You could try emailing the webmaster there to see if you can get a copy from him though. Elements did also get uploaded onto an ftp site somewhere recently...I don't know exactly where that was, or if it is still available there, but maybe someone else will...
While I'm here, the lyrics thing...I've also seen Mike say it's not about anything in particular. He had the backing track recorded and was due to have Maggie Reilly in to lay down the vocals, but still didn't have any lyrics. With just a few hours to spare, he started writing them. I believe he said something about being in New York at the time John Lennon was murdered, and wanting to bring the same atmosphere to the song, and there was something about Houdini as well (something tells me it was about how people acted when he dies, or something like that, but I don;t remember exactly).
