1.Nightfall
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Nightfall, o river of night flow through me
Washing the thoughts of the day on your waters away
For the morrow that dawns never knew me
Nightfall nightfall folding her dark locks around you
Her eyes they have found you
Would show you this new dream they're holding
O sleep, o come to me you who are night's daughter
And I'll give you my eyes for the colors that rise
As time's echoes reflect on your water
2.The Water Song
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Water, water, see the water flow
Glancing, dancing, see the water flow
O wizard of changes, water, water, water
Dark or silvery mother of life
Water, water, holy mystery, heavens daughter
Wizard of changes teach me the lesson of flowing
God made a song when the world was new
Waters laughter sings it through
O wizard of changes teach me the lesson of flowing
God made a song when the world was new
Waters laughter sings it through
Wizard of changes, water, water, water
3.The Son Of Noah's Brother
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Many were the lifetimes
Of the son of Noah's brother
See his coat the ragged
Riches of the soul
4.Womankind
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
I sing for love of womankind
I have one in my heart and mind
Low, my heart aches for her
My soul swims naked in her streams
And in her meadows lies to dream
Hay, what need to waken
Her breast blow blossom in my hands
Her eyes shine moons on secret lands
As through my clouds her raven thoughts go flying
Space nearly parts and nearly joins
Love's magic song moans through her loins
Well, hay, the lead long sweets of loving
May she glow always in her sun
Have nothing lost and nothing won
Oh, now what fear can chain her？
Oh, blessed is he who joys and grieves
Who wears the coat the rainbow weaves
Low, around his body
5.Evolution Rag
Lyricist：Robin Duncan Williamson
We're the fish men and the sea apes
Look at our tails and scales
And our big tough leader, away he wails
He thinks he is the king pin but he's outraced
By those little weedy stranger with the grin on his face
But that is the illusionist, the circus man
And the whole man murdering sea is his caravan
Eat air croquettes, my children dear
If you want to save yourself time and tears
History picnickers follow me
Evolution up the slopes of the sea
Up the slopes of the sea, up the slopes of the sea
Out on the land, out on the land singing hurray
While a million years pass by and we get well on our way
Grandma clears the trash left by previous picnic slaves
And with just one swipe of her ragged fins uncovers the caves
Singing Billy go store the map safely underground
He does but what is this that he has found
The map has gone how will we grow old
Grandma's tears have made the barbecue cold
I find myself saying here's where I came in
The illusionist has vanished like a red hot gin
Like a red hot gin, like a red hot gin
Oh yeah
6.Pictures In A Mirror
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Deep in the hollow jail, sleeps Lord Randall
The mixed voices speak of bread and of sheets that were
Scarlet and blue are at his head
His heart like a cat drowns in a well
He thinks of all the girls he will not love
He thinks not of the future or the past
Blue lightning spikes the hills above the sea
Where Kasa's ship sets sail for other where
There stands the chief with gold on his hair
Two fingers thick each link of coiled ore
Speaks to his white skinned wife, she answers not
He hurls his question angry to the gulls
His wife strikes her mouth with a skull like sound
The bleeding image of her loss revolves above her mind
With every line in its design and accusing eye
That pierces Kasa's soul
The slaves row on beneath the dragon flag
His heart recoils recall his red haired son
Beneath the burning walls that he razed down
His wife and he speak not as wine is brought
A cup that seethes like the black blood of wolves
His wife's dagger is hidden in her dress
He drinks joyless to a dark sleep
The Jailer bangs the iron door
Lord Randall wakes, wakes in pain
He shakes his shackles in the beaten gloom
The blood of his wounds is hard as coal
The Jailer leads him out upon the blinding bright stair
He feels uneven turf beneath his feet
The priest intones, the sword falls on his neck
The pain is boiling cold
They lay him in the tomb at the break of day
They close the earthen door upon his clay
The birds are plucking worms from the ground
Their feathers gray as mist on a cloudy morn
Foresters burn branches from the sleeping trees
The white sun turns to stone
His mother lies in her labor nine days long
She called on Saint Bridget in her time
I looked out on the room of my birth
With hangings rich of many strange designs
Nobles stand with their wine cups in the room
Saluting me and she the King's queen
Already, I am forgetting who I am
Already, I've forgotten who I've been
My mother lifts me up to her huge soft breast
Her nipple like a berry both hard and brown
Her eyes look on me like waves of the sea
And with small lips the yellow milk I draw
7.Waltz Of The New Moon
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
I hear that the Emperor of China
Used to wear iron shoes with ease
We are the tablecloth and also the table
Also the fable of the dancing leaves
The new moon is rising
The axe of the thunder is broken
As never was not since the flood nor yet since the world began
The new moon is shining
The angels are washing their windows
Above the years whose jumble sale goes spinning on below
Ask the snail beneath the stone
Ask the stone beneath the wall
Are there any stars at all
Like an eagle in the sky
Tell me if air is strong
In the floating pan pipe victories of the golden harvest
Safe in the care of the dear moon
The new moon is rising
The eyelid of a god is approaching
The humane train the skating raining traveling voice of
certainty
The new moon is shining
The harmonious hand is now holding Lord Krishna's ring
The eagle's wing the voice of mother everything
Ask the snail beneath the stone
Ask the stone beneath the wall
Are there any stars at all
Like an eagle in the sky
Tell me if air is strong
In the floating palaces of the spinning castle
May the fire, king's daughter bring water to you
8.Juggler's Song
Lyricist：Michael Jagger, Keith Richards
Gather round friends and I'll show you what I made
Something in my bag that'll surprise you all
It's a secret, don't push, I'm not ready
Something to dazzle your eyes, oh
Something to blow your mind away
Something that I made today
The first little ball is red and green
Oh, it's pretty, yes, I know what you mean
I call it substance, do dio dio do
And what it will do I just don't know
But the trees may whisper and the hills may grow
While it's changing
The first and only juggler, I must be the best
I love to see the rings spin, never at rest
Up in the air and back to me
What it will do, I just can't see
Something to blow your mind away
Something that I made today
The next little ball is silver and black
See, it chase the first one forward and back
I call it space, do dio dio do
What it will do, I just don't know
But it seems to make a difference just to have it so
While it's changing
The next little ball is too hot to hold
I have to keep tossing it and I hope it gets cold
I call it power, do dio dio dio
What it will do, I just don't know
But it seems to make the whole thingummywhojemyflippery
Rattle and go while it's changing
The first and only juggler, I must be the best
I love to see the rings spin, never at rest
Up in the air and back to me
What it will do, I just can't see
Something to blow your mind away
Something that I made today
The next little ball is orange and blue
I can't juggle four so I'll toss it to you
And I call it time
9.Smoke Shovelling Song
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Last winter blew so cold no lies
And my fire smoke would not rise
Soon as the smoke would tried to depart
It'd be froze up harder than a landlord's heart
I called up the police yes and they came around
Three days later and very brought down
Sergeant he gave me this hysterical croak says
'What do you think you have going here, some kind of joke？'
Of course I wasn't laughing
He says, 'You're causing us officers so much grief
Why don't you give us some relief？
Why don't you call the fire brigade？
Or maybe why don't you try shovelling
The smoke up the chimney with a spade'
I borrowed a spade from the woman next door
And I broke up the smoke that remained on the floor
I was shovelling away
'Till the closing day singing a smoke-shovelling song
After working so hard I went out to my yard
And I looked up to my chimney so long
There was nothing to see there
Just a thousand foot high, way into the sky
Was a pillar of smoke full of song
There was an airplane stuck in it
But I didn't notice at first
It was so cunningly disguised as a dragon
Come the summer at last, though it was rainy and fast
The pillar it melted away
Now the airplane fell with a big smoky smell
And echoing around all over the town
Was the words of the smoke shovelling song
Any anyone telling a bigger story
Would have to be telling a lie
And anyone think a bigger one up
Have to be very high
10.Little Cloud
Lyricist：Mike Heron
How sweet to be a cloud
Lying awake, late the other night
I heard above me a trembling
I looked up, it was a little cloud
From which a gold string was dangling
You know, I gave the string a little pull
Just to see what was on the other end
Just then a voice came down to me and says
'Hey, now, don't you want to be my friend'
And float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair
Float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair
You see I'm just a happy little cloud
I laugh and the float and the sing my song
But the other clouds don't like me none
They say, I am behaving so very wrong
You see a cloud's supposed to be sad
To cry and weep and tear its hair and all
And don't matter how hard I try
I can't get the first little tear to fall
Oh float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair
Float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair
I said, 'Hey, I like you little cloud
You are a nice little fellow, yes'
'You making some, kind of a joke？', said the cloud
'Now can't you see I'm wearing such a pretty dress？
You see I am the prettiest little chick cloud
That you'd find anywhere up above
I just dropped in on you awhile
To see if you could give me some kind of love
And float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair
Float with me to distant lands wondrous and fair
Just then the chief cloud come into view
And says, 'Hey, girl, now what you think you're doing there？
I told you so many times before
You just don't seem at all to care
You know you should be floating up above
Now don't let me catch you down here again
And as my cloud rolled out of view
There come falling down a gentle shower of rain
Happy rain come falling down
Red, green, blue and golden
And every drop, as it fell, it smiled
And, throwing back its head, began singing
Oh, float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair
Float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair
11.Swift As The Wind
Lyricist：Mike Heron
For my delight
Swift as the wind flies
His chariot and wings
Shine, shine in the light of a thousand suns
For he comes from the land of no night
He comes from the land of no night
There is no land
The night is all around my child
You must stop imagining all this
You must stop imagining all this
For your own good
Why don't you go with the rest
And play downstairs？
Closing my eyes
I see him so clear
The blood on his sword
Flashes so bright as it
Falls to the skulls by his feet
But his eyes they know all things
Oh, his eyes they know all
There is no blood
No one knows all my child
You must stop imagining all this
You must stop imagining all this
For your own good
Why don't you go with the rest
And play downstairs？
Swift as the wind
Stay if you will now
Seeing you again will be, will be in your castle so fair
But I make take some time on the way
And may spend some time downstairs
12.You Know What You Could Be
Lyricist：Mike Heron
Read your book and lose yourself
In another's thoughts
He might tell you 'bout what is
Or even 'bout what is not
And if he's kind and gentle too
And he loves the world a lot
His twilight words may melt the slush
Of what you have been taught
You know what you could be
Tell me, my friend
Why you worry all the time？
What you should been？
Listen to the song of life
Its rainbow's end won't hold you
Its crimson shapes and purple sounds
Softly will enfold you
It gurgles through the timeless glade
In quarter tones of lightning
No policy is up for sale
In case the truth be frightening
You know what you could be
Tell me, my friend
Why you worry all the time？
What you should be？
13.Good Dog
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
This dog is no puppy dog
She's strange as the trees
She's brown as the mountain
And white as the breeze
She walks on the water
Without any boots
Her eyes arc as fine
As the music of flutes
But she will not sweep chimneys
Nor will she pluck corn
But she is the best little dog
That ever was born
I have lain in the womb
Of the rocks, cold and chill
While she speaks in my heart
With the voice of the hill
And when I am risen
And ready to run
She will laugh without laughter
To welcome the sun
But she will not learn language
Nor will she bear scorn
But she is the best little dog
That ever was born
The water God offered me
The ring of his rings
To buy the dog from me
To teach the poor kings
The ring's on my finger
The dog runs behind
Since watery palaces
Would never suit her mind
But as yet she can't fly well
Nor play on the horn
Still she is the best little dog
That ever was born
14.Talking Of The End
Lyricist：Robin Duncan Williamson
Talking of the end, talking of the end
Let me hear you say it will not be
Talking of the end, talking of the end
Let me hear you say you disagree
This is no time for easy riding
This is no time to cry
Better start to play your part
Start to live before you start to die
Dream the world all alive
Busily conspiring humming like a hive
Dream the world all alive
I dream it as me
Rise as fair and tender leaves
Brightening in countless eyes
And the sweet song of whales
Beneath the sea
If I could sing only one song I'd sing of you
If I could sing only one song I'd sing of you
If I could sing only one song
If I could sing only one song I'd sing of you
15.Job's Tears
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
We're all still here, no one has gone away
Waiting, acting much too well and procrastinating
The cross of the earth, the four winds point them
Body to body sees to anoint them
The reed, they brought him sponge and vinegar
The fiery serpents spitting gold and cinnamon
The moon was bleeding and stars were shallow
And the sword that killed him was a sword of willow
Hello I must be going well I only came to say
I hear my mother calling and I must be on my way
Oh I remember it all from before
The winter and the midnight could not hold him
The fire could not burn him nor earth enfold him
Rise up Lazarus, sweet and salty
Brother soldiers, stop your gambling and talk to me
The thieves were stealers but reason condemned him
And the grave was empty where they had laid him
Hello I must be going well I only came to say
I hear my mother calling and I must be on my way
Oh I remember it all from before
Why heroes die at sunrise？ Why the birds are arrows of the wise？
Why each perfumed flower？ Why each moment has its hour？
It's you, it's all true
Stranger than that we're alive, stranger than that, stranger
than that
Stranger than that we're alive
Whatever you think, it's more than that, more than that
Happy man, happy man doing the best he can, doing the best he
can
Happy man, happy man doing the best he can, doing the best he
can
Oh happy man
Keep on walking where the angels showed
All will be one, all will be one
Traveling where the saints have trod
Over to the old golden land
The golden angel wrote my name
Over in the old golden land
I won't need to kiss you when we're there
All will be one, all will be one
I won't need to miss you when we're there
Over in the old golden land
The golden angel wrote my name
Over in the old golden land
We'll understand it better in the sweet bye and bye
All will be one, all will be one
You won't need to worry and you won't have to cry
Over in the old golden land
The golden angel wrote my name
Over in the old golden land
16.Yellow Snake
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Someone you saw stretched sleeping on the sand
Five withered violets cradled in his hand
His dreams are so loud calling in your ear
The yellow snake coils from the water
And all is refreshed far and near
The yellow snake coils from the water
And all is refreshed far and near
17.You Get Brighter
Lyricist：Mike Heron
You get brighter every day and every time I see you
Scattered brightness in your way and you taught me how to love
you
And I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm
you
I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm you
Oh no, oh no
In the morning when I wake, I moor my boat and greet you
Hold your brightness in my eye and I wonder what does sleep do
For you get brighter every day and every time I see you
Scattered brightness in your way and you taught me how to love
you
And I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm
you
I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm you
Oh no, oh no
Oh wondrous light, light, light, lighter
You give all your brightness away and it only makes you brighter
For you get brighter every day and every time I see you
Scattered brightness in your way and you taught me how to love
you
And I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm
you
I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm you
Oh no, oh no
You get brighter every day and every time I see you
Scattered brightness in your way and you taught me how to love
you
And I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm
you
I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm you
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me how to love you
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me how to love you
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me how
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me how
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me how
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me how
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me how
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me how
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me how
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me how
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me how
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me how to love you
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me how to love you
Krishna colors on the wall, you taught me
And I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm
you
I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm you
Oh no, oh no
You get brighter every day
18.Half-Remarkable Question
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Who moved the black castle
Who moved the white queen
When Gimme and Daleth where standing between？
Out of the evening growing a veil
Pining for the pine woods that ached for the sail
There's something forgotten I want you to know
The freckles of rain they are telling me so
Oh, it's the old forgotten question
What is it that we are part of？
And what is it that we are？
And an elephant madness has covered the sun
The judge and the juries they play for the fun
They've torn up the roses and washed all the soap
And the martyr who marries them dares not elope
Oh, it's the never realized question
What is it that we are part of？
And what is it that we are？
Oh long, oh long ever yet my eyes
Braved the gates enormous fire
And the body folded 'round me
And the person in me grew
The flower and its petal
The root and its grasp
The earth and its bigness
The breath and its gasp
The mind and its motion
The foot and its move
The life and its pattern
The heart and its love
Oh, it's the half-remarkable question
What is it that we are part of？
And what is it that we are？
19.Air
Lyricist：Mike Heron
Breathing, all creatures are
Brighter then than brightest star
You are by far
You come right inside of me
Close as you can be
You kiss my blood and the blood kiss me
Breathing, all creatures are
Brighter then than brightest star
You are by far
You come right inside of me
Close as you can be
You kiss my blood and the blood kiss me
20.Ducks On a Pond
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Ducks on a pond, ducks on a pond
Very pretty swimming round
The lion and the unicorn journey very far
The answers are the question, sir
The lady soothes the lion's fur
Meek as a lamb he follows her
Wherever angels are
Sing me something
I asked the ice it would not say
But only cracked or moved away
I thought I knew me yesterday
Whoever sings this song
Ducks on a pond, ducks on a pond
Very pretty swimming round
Greetings on you kings in the sky
Who'll buy me a mynah bird
Play me a magic word
Speak of hopes with thoughts absurd
Thoughts floating by
Little ducks, pretty birds
Clouds across the sky
Sing me something
I asked the ice it would not say
But only cracked or moved away
I thought I knew me yesterday
Whoever sings this song
Moving pieces on the plains of troy
Carving faces on the rocks of joy
Pretty lady washing the tiles
Soapy pictures like crocodiles
Chilly, chilly, chilly, chilly winds blowing
Lovely spring coming soon
Chilly, chilly, chilly, chilly winds blowing
Lovely spring coming soon
I wear my body like a caravan
Gypsy rover in a magic land
Misty mountains where the eagles fly
Lonely valleys where the lost ones cry
I had a little letter full of paper
Inky scratches everywhere
Always looking, looking for a paradise island
Help me find it everywhere
Peacocks talking of the color gray
Awaking soundly in darkest day
A howling tempest on a silent sea
Lovely Jesus nailed to a tree
I had a little letter full of paper
Inky scratches everywhere
Always looking, looking for a paradise island
Help me find it everywhere
Mad as the moon when merlin falls
Silver castles and silver halls
Taking lessons from the piper's son
Learn to play while the world is young
Boys and girls come out to play
The moon doth shine as bright as day
Leave your sorrows and leave your sleep
And join your playfellows in the street
Come with a whoop or come with a call
Come with a goodwill or not at all
Up the ladder and down the wall
A ha'penny loaf will serve for all
Following my fortune now the holy grail is found
And the holy bread of heaven it is given all around
Farewell sorrow, praise God the open door
I ain't got no home in this world any more
I ain't got no home in this world any more
I ain't got no home in this world any more
Farewell sorrow, praise God the open door
I ain't got no home in this world any more
Poor as the birds but to give their songs away
Gathering possessions 'round to make a bright array
Dark was the night, praise God the open door
I ain't got no home in this world anymore
I ain't got no home in this world anymore
I ain't got no home in this world anymore
Farewell sorrow, praise God the open door
I ain't got no home in this world any more
21.The Minotaur's Song
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Straight from the shoulder
I think like a soldier
I know what's right and what's wrong
(He knows what's right and what's wrong)
I'm the original discriminating buffalo man
And I'll do what's wrong as long as I can
(He'll do what's wrong as long as he can)
I live in a labyrinth under the sea
Down in the dark as dark as can be
I like the dark as dark as can be
(He likes the dark as dark as can be)
I'll even attack you or eat you whole
Down in the dark my bone mills roll
Porridge for my porridge bowl
(Porridge for his porridge bowl)
I'm strong as the earth from which I'm born
(He's strong as the earth from which he's born)
I can't dream well because of my horns
(He can't dream well because of his horns)
I'm strong as the earth from which I'm born
(He's strong as the earth from which he's born)
I can't dream well because of my horns
(He can't dream well because of his horns)
A Minotaur gets very sore
His features they are such a bore
His habits are predicta-bull
Aggressively relia-bull, bull, bull
Strong as the earth from which I'm born
(He's strong as the earth from which he's born)
I can't dream well because of my horns
(He can't dream well because of his horns)
I'm the original discriminating buffalo man
I'll do what's wrong as long as I can
(He'll do what's wrong as long as he can)
As long as he can
As long as he can
As long as he can
As long as he can
As long as he can
As long as he can
22.Red Hair
Lyricist：Mike Heron
Stepping out of the gray day she came
Her red hair falling like the sky
Love held them there in that moment
With the whole world passing by
He could look through all of his books
And not find a line that would do
To tell of changes she had made in him
Just by being there, oh
So good just to walk in the light
And may the moon shine down on love at every night
And sometimes it seems the only things real
Are what we are and what we feel
23.No Sleep Blues
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Cracks rack the windows, howls hold the floor
Rains rot the rafters and do you just have to snore？
It's a most inclement climate, for the season of the night
Is that mouse playing football, oh, I thought they didn't like
the light？
And the dawn comes sneaking up when it thinks I'm not looking
I am starting to grieve, man, I used to know but now I believe,
man
They tell me sleep is a gas and if I want to lay down
But I'm sorry I woke you, I mean I've got the no sleep blues
There's mayhem in this mansion, since the cows were coming home
With delirium no sleep um, in a cloud of nylon foam
But release scours the outhouse and a hard rain sears the sky
But if you let the pigs decide it, they will put you in the sty
And the dawn comes sneaking up when it thinks I'm not looking
I am starting to grieve, man, I used to know but now I believe,
man
They tell me sleep is a gas and if I want to lay down
But I'm sorry I woke you, I mean I've got the no sleep blues
I think I'll get a picture and I think I'll put it on a nail
I think I'll get another one and put it in a pail
But the pail got so rusty I called it red, red, red for fun
And I laughed like a leaver till you ought to seen it run
And the dawn comes sneaking up when it thinks I'm not looking
I am starting to grieve, man, I used to know but now I believe,
man
They tell me sleep is a gas and if I want to lay down
But I'm sorry I woke you, I mean I've got the no sleep blues
The size of the future declared itself no part
Aloof like a Sultan in the autumn of your heart
But the heart got so hearty, that it pulled for the shore
And the sailors fired a big salute and it made my ears quite
sore
And the dawn was sneaking up when it thinks I'm not looking
I am starting to grieve, man, I used to know but now I believe,
man
They tell me sleep is a gas and I want to lay down
But I'm sorry I woke you, I mean I've got the no sleep blues
I mixed stones and water, just to see what it would do
And the water it got stoney and the stones got watery too
So I mixed my feet with water, just to see what could be seen
And the water it got dirty and the feet they got quite clean
And the dawn comes sneaking up when it thinks I'm not looking
I am starting to grieve, man, I used to know but now I believe,
man
They tell me sleep is a gas and if I want to lay down
But I'm sorry I woke you, I mean I've got the no sleep blues
24.When The Music Starts To Play
Lyricist：Mike Heron
All my life and it's been a short one
I've met the happy and the sad together
I chased the soft warm air that flew before me
And through the storm on wings of love, the song of life bore me
And when the music starts to play, let me be around
I said when the music starts to play, let me be around
Oh, can't you see how my heart soars high when I hear that music
When the music starts to play, let me be around
When sadness lays his cold fist on my shoulder
And pushes me in icy waters drowning
The gentle hand of music lifts me smiling
And through these sounds my heart takes bounds, I happy am
And when the music starts to play, let me be around
I said, when the music starts to play, let me be around
Oh, can't you see how my heart soars high when I hear that music
When the music starts to play, let me be around
25.Koeeoaddi There
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
The natural cards revolve ever changing
Seeded elsewhere planted in the garden
Fair grow trees, grow trees
Tongues of the sheer wind
Setting you foot where the sand is untrodden
The ocean that only begins
Listen, a woman with a bulldozer built this house now
Carving away the mountain, whose name is your childhood home
We were trying to buy it, buy it, buy it, someone was found
killed
There all bones, bones, dry bones
Earth water fire and air
Met together in a garden fair
Put in a basket bound with skin
If you answer this riddle
If you answer this riddle,you'll never begin
Born in a house where the doors shut tight
Shadowy fingers on the curtains at night
Cherry tree blossom head high snow
A busy main road where I wasn't to go
I used to sit on the garden wall
Say hello to people going by so tall
Hallo to the postman's stubbly skin
Hallo to the baker's stubbly grin
Mrs. Thompson gave me a bear
Brigitte and some people lived upstairs
Skating on happy valley pond
Various ministers and guards stood around
The ice was nice, hallo, the invisible brethren
And there was a tent, you played cards with the soldiers in
â½Don't worry we won't send anyone after youâ, they screamed
But me and licorice saw the last of them one misty twisty day
Across the mournful morning, moor motoring away
Singing ladybird, ladybird what is your wish
Your wish is not granted unless it's a fish
Your wish is not granted unless it's a dish
A fish on a dish is that what you wish
Earth water fire and air
Met together in a garden fair
Put in a basket bound with skin
If you answer this riddle
If you answer this riddle, you'll never begin
26.Three Is A Green Crown
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Not with the lips of skin nor yet with the lips of dark snow
But let the white dove sing
Of the body of life of the lover whose love is complete
Hold hands out to greet, let not the swan be brought low
For all that is moving, is moved by her hands
She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands
In the building of thoughts in the shifting of sands
Life, life remembering
Well here you are now, O now you are here
Well how has it been so far？
The hair and the fur
Lemons, frankincenses and myrrh
For all that is moving is moved by her hands
She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands
In the building of thoughts in the shifting of sands
Let the cracked crystal raindrop be merged in the sea
Silent shining thoughtless free
But close your eyes to find the golden flower
And open them to see the sunshine shower
Where the flowers are free and the fishes ask ah, what can water
be
She beareth thought, she beareth visions
Speaking truth in contradictions
Dreams of pain, dreams of laughter
And every action follows after
O second self, O gate of the soft mystery
I'll love you if you'll love me, O guide me
With the gold of Gabriel's wing grant me the tongue
That all the earth does sing
Vibrating light forever one the sun
The book of life is open to us
There'll be no secrets left between us
27.Witches Hat
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Certainly the children have seen them
In quiet places where the moss grows green
Colored shells jangle together
The wind is cold, the year is old, the trees whisper together
And bend in the wind they lean
La la la
Oh, next week a monkey is coming to stay
If I was a witches hat
Sitting on her head like a paraffin stove
I'd fly away and be a bat
Across the air I would rove
Stepping like a tightrope walker
Putting one foot after another
Wearing black cherries for rings
La la la
...
28.Cold February
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
As I beside some winter's fire
Sat writing words strange and steady
Amongst my own internal choir
Came voices to my mind unready
Of those, who died on either side
While friends cry o'er their bones unburied
Go sighing through the north east winds
These cold days of February
Some clerk with papers and his pen
Some banker with his poison pity
Some captain careless of his men
These fan the flames that maim the cities
And bigots in the name of Christ
By thorny paths obscure and muddy
Can fear to roam through years of cold
Bewailing how their hands are bloody
Whether they were from here or there
Their race and place I would not be heeding
The men who caused such bitterness
If hearts they have let their hearts be bleeding
Who neither for age nor the young child
Would turn the shot of the arms they carried
Go bear the guilt a weary ways
For the cold days of February
29.My Name Is Death
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
I am the question that cannot be answered
I am the lover that cannot be lost
Yet small are the gifts of my servant the soldier
For time is my offspring, pray what is my name？
My name is death, cannot you see？
All life must turn to me
Oh, cannot you see？
And you must come with me
You must come with me
I'll give you gold and jewels rare
And all my wealth in store
All pleasure's fair
If I may live but a few short years more
Oh lady, lay your jewels aside
No more to glory in your pride
Tarrying here there is no way
Your time has come that you must away
And you must come to clay
30.Good As Gone
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
A strange thought just crossed my mind paid the rains back in
kind
'T was the thought of sweet May coming on
The days are running so slow, my heart is aching to go
And my feet surely itch for the road
Mm the long hot summer
Oh now the summer long
I have been tied to this land since the day I was planned
By the need to feed mmm my body and mind
Look you can work 'till you're gray, waste your whole life away
What security then do you find？
Mm the long hot summer
Oh now the summer long
I don't have no one to cheat, don't have no one to beat
You know I just need some room to uncurl
I don't have no aim in view, just some dreams to pursue
As I wallow around in the world
Things I must do, places to see
Things I must do now I've nothing now to hold me here
And I'll take the southward road
31.Dreams Of No Return
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
Dreams of no return
Waking in the early dawn
Dreams of no return
Waking in the early dawn
To whom I sourly yearned
In my weakest spell
But what I could not know
You could not show me
Old hotel the walls weep and the door leans
The blackbird quits the eaves
And the lonesome spider sings
Saw my sweet and soothing prayer was air
Why should you care
I never saw the tomb you they laid
There was already too much shade
What could it bring？ What if you know？
I need no hand of yours
But still I feel you kiss
While I have words to sing
Perhaps you treasure nothing from before
In the time I had no friends
I held your picture like a tongueless bell
When I really saw I was wrong
I wrote this song to seem a fond farewell
I've been in the north west world
Looking out on an endless view
When you were any reason
Why？ Was I really any use to you？
32.Time
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Arise, arise and follow me
And follow me as best you can
Come follow me, my measured dance
Come see my circus, come dice with chance
Now you are coming beneath my sway
Who once was as the daylight gay
Here's a rights, here's wrongs and the reasons why
A time to live, a time to die
I was your slave, now you are mine
I am time, I am time, I am time
Experience will teach you what you may
And what you may not do
I'll teach you to forget the truths
You always knew
See what might be
See what might have been
Though you yourself created me
Your own mistake has set me free
I was your slave, now you're mine
I am time, I am time
33.Little Girl
Lyricist：Heron Mike
Everybody knows good times
Everybody knows tears that fall
You and me had something higher than just good times
Something else that I just can't find without you
Without you got emptiness
Without you I've got an emptiness
That is lower
Than just about anything at all
Pick up, let me pick up
Let me pick up on your lovelight
Please let it shine on me, I want that more
Than just about anything at all
Little girl I love you, spend my walking hours in thoughts or
you
You held your love light high
And it shone and it shone down on me
But you let it fall so low I could not see
Without you got emptiness
Without you I've got an emptiness
That is lower
Than just about anything at all
34.Greatest Friend
Lyricist：Heron Mike
The greatest friend I have in life
Has brought me here to dwell
Awhile among your green, green hills
And by the watery well
The water from that wondrous well
Has made my eyes to see
And loosed my tongue to sing with joy
That such a friend can be
The greatest friend I have in life
Was hidden long from me
Above the mountains, cold and wide
Beneath the sacred tree
That sacred tree whose bark I touched
Whose leaves did tell to me
The ancient tales that made me sure
My friend would come to me
My greatest friend a song has given
To sing where I may go
To sing among the green, green hills
And where the waters flow
The waters from that wondrous well
That make my eyes to see
And make my mind to ever show
My greatest friend to me
35.Weather The Storm
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
Stormy weather in the world since the day I was born
Stormy in the schoolhouse, stormy when I left my home
A few more storms won't freeze me, my love will keep me warm
One thing more I know for sure, I swear we're going to weather
the storm
You, you had your soft brown eyes
Pretty as I ever saw, want to see the sunset？
I know where in the the shade of the big boys jaw
Dance through the summer, dance through the spring
Dance through winter and fall, one thing I know for sure
I swear you are the belle of the ball
I've been around this whole 'round world, many strange things I
see
I know where I'm going and I know who's going with me
Never fear I won't be cold, my love will keep me warm
One thing more I know for sure, I swear we're going to weather
the storm
36.The Actor
Lyricist：Le Maistre Malcolm, Williamson Robin D H
The actor leaves the stage with a rose in his hand
He settles in the back seat his thoughts are like fine sand
Driven through the rain swept streets casting a melancholy stare
Upon two enraptured loves kissing without a care
The dreams of an actor spill slowly by
Like the thoughts of a dreamer or the casting of a die
Talking to gay fellows of the follies on which they perch
He saw a lovely lady beneath the arches of a church
Cigarettes in the airless twenties
An estate well filled with dust
In the evening reading Swinburne
Eating mightily with some false lust
But a kiss was what we found
On damp but friendly ground
The lady wore no makeup but she stood like a swan
Thin body of a dancer her dress was quietly torn
Her eyes searched his distant heart that lingered in the ram
But his friends caught his iron gaze and carried it away again
Broken hearted in the loveless twenties
Where a wink was like an embrace
Making love on blue Fridays
From across some foggy space
But a kiss was what we found
On damp but friendly ground
Tea was like a mirror a reflection never there
His thoughts upon that ring of love that burned upon her stare
Her eyes her lips her chin her grace the rain upon her hair
Thus it gripped his white gloved heart can anyone be so fair
Untied in the breezy twenties
With a hand held in my arms
Bearing my heart to the hallowed spires
Of this quiet and ancient land
For a kiss was what we found
On damp but friendly ground
37.Mr. And Mrs.
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
He's wearing the breaches that father bequeath'd him
Grandfather's jacket, still stained from the war
Schoolmaster's hat and mother's familiar
And thousands of souvenirs kept from before
Still wearing the bruises of coppers and robbers
Ring of the bishop on loving his pomp
Once-bitten apples of jealous dispassion
Twice-eaten hopes with the crust and the crumb
She carries a gramophone and plays the same records
Family choir claim truth equals pain
Compulsively buying the devil's selection
Of sure good for nothing again and again
Children come follow in grandfather's footsteps
Laced on her fears and her man-o-war stare
Mapping a course with the hard learned lesson
Magistrate's customer and the prefect
Mr. and Mrs. I know it's sore with the daily pitchfork
And the marshal law
Oh, chatting young lovers sweetness heart
Working together to make this world
Out of the pain the sweet gone sour
I'm going to the beautiful country don't you want to come
A check for the break in my telephone line
And people are buzzing me most of the time
I'm dialing your line I wait for my reply
I'm here, I'm here
Now I'm on my way, now I'm on my way
Oh, Mr. and Mrs., oh, Mr. and Mrs.
Well, I just can't stay
So many haters in this town, so many haters
Everyone's trying to put you down
Mr. and Mrs., oh, Mr. and Mrs.
You're in this mess
I understand you're in such a mess
Oh, Mr. and Mrs.
Palm the tears in your eyes
Talking about tears in your eyes
You know, I won't leave till you come through
Doo, we, oo, we, ooh
Doo, we, oo, we, ooh
38.Painting Box
Lyricist：Michael Anthony Herard
When the morning of your eyes comes waking through my shadows
Leaving just a trace of twilight sleep
I whisper to the baby raindrops playing on my window
And tell them gently this is not the time that they should weep
For somewhere in my mind there is a painting box
I have every color there, it's true
Just lately when I look inside my painting box
I seem to pick the colors of you
My Friday evening's footsteps plodding dully through this black
town
Are far away now from the world that I'm in
My eyes are listening to some sounds that I think just might be
springtime
With daffodils between my toes I'm laughing at their whim
And somewhere in my mind there is a painting box
I have every color there, it's true
Just lately when I look inside my painting box
I seem to pick the colors of you
Oh, somewhere in my mind there is a painting box
I have every color there, it's true
Just lately when I look inside my painting box
I seem to pick the colors of you
The purple sail above me catches all the strength of summer
Fishes stop and ask me where I am bound
I smile and shake my head and say my little ship is sinking
But I kind of like the sea that I'm on and I don't mind if I do
drown
And somewhere in my mind there is a painting box
I have every color there, it's true
Just lately when I look inside my painting box
I seem to pick the colors of you
39.Banks Of Sweet Italy
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
And must you go my flower my gem
My laughter and my hope of joy
To follow fortune through all the world
Make luck pursue you my darling boy
The sun shines bright in France
Yellow it shines on high Barbaree
Oh, be my light of day
Carry not long on the banks of sweet Italy
A golden ring is a precious thing
Red stockings and shoes of green
A dwelling place with painted door
A wide white bed to love you in
Summer's gone with calm days
Ungentle now is Biscay Bay
A cold fear claims my heart
God save all sailors from the cruel waves
40.Dust Be Diamonds
Lyricist：Heron Mike, Williamson Robin D H
I fished for a plow, it was heavy as lead
And tired in my body, I wished for a bed
When I lay claim to nothing, seems everything's mine
When I lay claim to nothing
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
King Jesus, he whispered, 'It is not so far'
And Buddha declared, 'It is right where you are'
Oh, tell me how many tears have you dried
Tell me how many
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
The things that you claim are the things you will be
And the actions of now are tomorrow's memory
So buy for a million, sell for a dime
Buy for a million
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Somebody tells you the world's all wrong
And somebody tells you the road is so long
And if you have an argument, please see your mind
If you have an argument
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
The man on the corner is singing the blues
And the man in the office is studying the news
So you're looking for trouble, so trouble you'll find
So you're looking for trouble
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
I used to have to wind up my clockwork heart
And my face was addicted and I did not feel part
So look in the end act, see my secret crime
Look in the end act
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Oh, dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
Dust be diamonds, water be wine
Happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time
41.Walking Along With You
Lyricist：Michael Anthony Herard
There are many things'll give you a good time
I have known a few
But my lover, it's you that made my eyes shine
And make the sky so blue
And it makes me feel so very good
When I'm walking along with you
When I'm walking along with you
When I'm walking along with you
When I'm walking along with you
When we're walking along
You've got the power you're so strong
But you move your body like a midnight song
I love you
Last night we made a meadow
Bathed among the dew
And out of the buttercup's bright soft touch
I was born anew
And it makes me feel so very good
When I'm walking along with you
When I'm walking along with you
When I'm walking along with you
When I'm walking along with you
When we're walking around
I see your feet kissing the ground
Your arms make music without a sound
I love you
42.The Mountain Of God
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
Behold the mountain of the Lord
In latter days shall rise, hark, the herald angels sing
Hush, hush, whisper who dares
Christopher Robin is saying his prayers
Do you not fly as clouds
And as doves to your windows
Who serve as the shadow
And the example of heavenly things
As Moses was admonished of God
As he was making the Tabernacle
See that you do all things according to the pattern
Shown you on the high mountain
Glory be to the Father
And to the Son and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be world without end, Amen
43.Glancing Love
Lyricist：Garson Mike, Le Maistre Malcolm
You used to lie out in some Persian garden
You strode cat lithe the streets of New York
You saw me silent eyed aching in the front row
Heart of fire
To ease your cool desire
Heartless love come and lie beside me
And I'll try to find your glancing love
You flashed cruising through the glances
Cast by chances of romances
With nonchalance you cast your gown
Writhing to the ground wildest dream
You stretched away unseen
You used to lie out in some Persian garden
You strode cat lithe the streets of New York
You seemed so serene as you glided from the screen
Angel eyes
I eased back amongst the sighs
Heartless love come and lie beside me
And I'll try to find your glancing love
44.Moon Hang Low
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
Let the moon hang low low down in the sky
The lower it goes the higher we fly
One small candle is just enough light
For endless moments of love bright
And the more I know you the more I know
And the more I love you the more love grows
Let the fire burn way down low
In those early hours easy hours
When the world turns slow
45.Queen Of Love
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
A strong power calls from the left hand
Across the waters deep
A strong power calls from the left hand
Let all things sleep or weep
Oh, the queen of love
You have unwove my eyes
And my heart will not sleep
The eye would sleep but the mind would rise
I must needs walk down God's eyebrows
And along the streets of his eyes
Look for me and you will see me in my red cloak
Swimming determined as God's blood flies
Creatures of grief, you beg from the thief
I will not carry home your sacks of sorrow
But I will pay the fiddler good silver if he smiles
Pray God he see tomorrow
The fine, fine girls that are into it
And my eyes with salt water swim
And we disputing with a brittle gaiety upon the world's rim
If I sought to love you with my body
It would be with a bent back unto the day of doom
Oh, the queen of love
I am in her heart
She is in my room
And together alone we clasp hands
And in each other's eyes walk the endless shore
And below I have my duty to perform in the song
And that, that I was, you will see it no more
The snow is on the hills of my heart
And to speak is to die
The men at arms do seek to mark me
And the monks raise hue and cry
Seek me in vain on Golgotha
Or in fear's hollow
For the way I take today
Only the true may follow
The ancestors in stone armor calling for loyalty untrue
Seek to make a zigzag of the arrow's flight
It is so swaddled in the bands of form
But I am girdled with the storm and cloaked with the night
I am not to be seen or found
Save only in what I cause
Standing outside on the inside outside
Perfectingness or flaws
How shall I say where I end or where you begin？
How shall I say, what shall I play？
Shall it be you or the wild wind
As Pan with the insane eyes
Or with the wild horns
Or when I am crowned with the paper crown
Or with the crown of thorns
A strong power compels distortion from the right hand
Fleece to the gray wolves, fangs to the gray sheep
But the queen of love she strokes
My body alive, that I do not sleep
The doctor brews potions and pills
To open his own front door
And the locksmith makes strong bolts
To bar his gates to every new breeze that blows
Shall I now put lion's ears upon my ears？
Hear every sound as a roar？
Shall I now put mouse's eyes upon my eyes？
Gauge the moon for size against my paw？
While the queen of love
She sings to me
From above and beyond the world
And I observe my mind
It is playing ignorant boy
While at her feet I am curled
And I remember all female movements so well
Of such a form to give much joy and ease much care
To perfume and let fall the colored gown
And to let down the curling hair
But now I play seed thrower
And I will play three-legged man
I will play dream weaver and day bringer
And catch as catch can
While the queen of love
She swims like a silver dove in my mind's room
And my body sleepwalks down the road
In a warm dark swoon
46.A Very Cellular Song
Lyricist：Michael Anthony Herard
Winter was cold and the clothing was thin
But the gentle shepherd calls the tune
Oh, dear mother what shall I do？
First please your eyes and then your ears, Jenny
Exchanging love tokens say goodnight
Lay down my dear sister
Won't you lay and take your rest？
Won't you lay your head upon your saviors breast？
And I love you but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Lord, I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
One of these mornings bright and early and fine
Goodnight, goodnight
Not a cricket, not a spirit going to shout me on
Goodnight, goodnight
I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death
Goodnight, goodnight
And his rod and his staff shall comfort me
Goodnight, goodnight
Oh John, the wine he saw the sign
Goodnight, goodnight
Oh, John say, 'I seen a number of signs'
Goodnight, goodnight
Tell a for the ark that wonderful boat
Goodnight, goodnight
You know they built it on the land getting water to float
Goodnight, goodnight
Oh, tell B for the beast at the ending of the wood
Goodnight, goodnight
You know it ate all the children when they wouldn't be good
Goodnight, goodnight
I remember quite well, I remember quite well
Goodnight, goodnight
And I was walking in Jerusalem just like John
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Who would lose and who would bruise
Or who would live quite prettily？
And who would love what comes along
And fill the air with joyous song
Who would go and who would come
Or who would simply linger？
And who would hide behind your chair
And steal your crystallized ginger？
Nebulous nearnesses cry to me
At this timeless moment someone dear to me
Wants me near, makes me high
I can hear vibrations fly
Through mangoes, pomegranates and planes
All the same
When it reaches me and teaches me
To sigh
Who would mouse and who would lion
Or who would be the tamer？
And who would hear directions clear
From the unnameable namer？
Who would skip and who would plot
Or who would lie quite stilly？
And who would ride backwards on a giraffe？
Stopping every so often to laugh
Amoebas are very small
Oh ah ee oo
There's absolutely no strife
Living the timeless life, I don't need a wife
Living the timeless life
If I need a friend I just give a wriggle
Split right down the middle
And when I look there's two of me
Both as handsome as can be
Oh, here we go slithering, here we go
Slithering and squelching on
Oh, here we go slithering, here we go
Slithering and squelching on
Oh ah ee oo
There's absolutely no strife
Living the timeless life
Black hair, brown hair feather and scale
Seed and stamen and all unnamed lives that live
Turn your quivering nerves in my direction
Turn your quivering nerves in my direction
Feel the energy projection of my cells wishes you well
May the long time sun shine upon you
All love surround you
And the pure light within you
Guide you all the way on
May the long time sun shine upon you
All love surround you
And the pure light within you
Guide you all the way on
May the long time sun shine upon you
All love surround you
And the pure light within you
Guide you all the way on
...
47.The Mad Hatter's Song
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Oh seekers of spring how could you not find contentment
In a time of riddling reasons in this land of the blind
By the joke of fate alone it's sure that as the loved hand
leaves you
You clutch for the slip-stream, the realness to find
But do what you like, do what you like, do what you like
Do what you like, do what you like, do what you can
Do what you can, live till you die my poor little man
For Jesus will stretch out His hand no more
But in the south there's many a waving tree
Oh, would that musky fingers move your pain
In the warm south winds the lost flowers bloom again
And if you cried, you know you'd fill a lake with tears
Still wouldn't turn back the years
Since the city has took you mad Hatter is on my mind
So sad, sad to see the way it grew those other people that I
knew
That have either fell or faltered mad Hatter is on my mind
And you must have to see clear some time
Prometheus the problem child still juggling with his brains
Gives his limping leopard's visions to the miser in his veins
Saying Gods are indigestions I come for gain
But I am the archer the lover of laughter and mine is the
arrowed flight
I am the archer, and my eyes yearn after the unsullied sight
Born of the dark waters of the daughters of night
Dancing without movement after the clear light
Oh Perithian fate be kind in the rumbling and trundling rickshaw
of time
Hooked by the heart to the king fisher's line
I will set my one eye for the shores of the blind
48.Seagull
Lyricist：Heron Mike
Cold morning sun to show me where I spent the night
Sun can you find through porthole on the anchored sea me
Then I'm walking on the prom deck asking the sky
Oh, someone won't you hear my cry
Come and stop my questioning, stop my lie
And maybe give me a sign to show me it's alright
Seagull come fly me your song your high song
It's very true there's nothing to complain of here
You know I've tried and not found an enemy to fear here
There's safety in the warm thoughts all around me
Adventure in the strange port quay
But still a questioning in the quiet of me
Why do I need a sign to show me it's alright
Seagull come fly me your song your high song
All right, out on the rolling, rolling sea now
49.Circus Girl
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
Circus girl, how could you love me？
You're so far above me, you hang by your knees and your toes
Circus girl, can you even hear me？
Down in the crowd, your silver skirt hangs back over your breast
Such beautiful legs and you sparkle and flirt
I don't mind lipstick all over my shirt
You fly through the air, you've got princess hair
I'm really impressed
Circus girl, you fly higher than the house of lords
You look serene
Circus girl, your picture cheers hospital wards
You met the queen
The ringmaster's hat is as black as a wellington boot
He's mean he cracks his whip
But if he tries to beat you or even mistreat you
I'll give him some lip
Circus girl, you ride wild horses running real quick
You smoke long cigars and you don't get sick
You dance on tightropes sleep on knives
If I married you would I want other wives
50.Puppet Song
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Now you may have observed if you walk into a wall
You get a certain sensation of reality
When you take a look through your memory book
You may perceive a certain rhythmic regularity
The crazy things your mind gets up to when you're away
Throwing clouds of rain over brightest day
And there was once a little man
He worked all day and slept all the night
He looked at the sun, it didn't seem bright, it didn't seen
right
He wondered, did the world go rolling along on its own
Or did some spirit move it with a black cat bone？
And he set out to find the causes behind the events in the world
And the seasons of the mind
So he asked his wife about it, and his wife said, yes
Come back and see me, if it's time to know less
You do too much a questions of the world at large
Everybody knows the politician's in charge
So he went to the King house just the next day
To see that politician with his hair dyed gray
Jump down, turn around, blow you up or kiss the ground
Trying to be the president of the land so gay
He had those false pretendies, I had to love his style
Bound to make some havoc with that violin smile
Hey, Salvador Dali, make a walking, talking something
You paint some freaky pictures, make a likeness of that man
Muchos dollars if you can
And so the little man asked the politician
Who makes the plan, who makes the plan？
What happens to me and who has the key？
Now you are asking me, who makes the scene
His highness, King Gold and Madam Silver, his queen
They keep it all a rustling with the dollars and pounds
And everyone knows that money makes the world go around
And so the little man asked King Gold and Madam Silver
Come, tell me, what you can
And King Gold said, lifting his golden voice from his golden bed
Now money is something, it's a basic flow
And me, I am the archetype of jewels and dough
I do a lot of talking, both slow and fast
But me make decisions, no, of course, it's the past
For the past is something, we all have some
And universal history is a bundle of fun
Now I get sleepy, starting to nod
And if you want to check the picture, want to check the picture
Want to check it, check it with God
And so the little man climbed up on a rickety ladder
To the heavenly lands
And he shed a tear, 'It's all so queer and it doesn't seem
clear'
Now God was sitting easy in a heavenly chair
Breathing deep and lazy on the heavenly air
The little man got near him just to get right from wrong
Said, 'God, are you responsible for all that goes on？'
God looked up from having a heavenly think
He gave that little questioner a heavenly wink, saying
'Men have colored me with the colors of their minds, so I find
They use me as an excuse for all kinds of goofs
And for crimes of all kinds
All your so hard facts painted thinly on the void
Why were you not more pleasantly employed？
Anything you want to do, I'm happy if you make it go right
And it's true, if it makes you happy
Oh, you know it makes the world more bright
And you shall have liberty, liberty, it always was yours anyway
You're one of my kind, you're an infinite mind
You make each new day
There's nothing more I can say'
51.Mercy I Cry City
Lyricist：Heron Mike
Since you got me here
I see you're trying to steal my soul
Your army's trying so very hard
To find for me a goal
But where's your quiet pastures
Where there's time for me to be
Nothing else but what I am
That's what you seem scared to see
You cover up your emptiness
With brick and noise and rush
Oh, I can see and touch you
But you don't owe reality much
Have mercy I cry city, you're all upon my mind
And sometimes I think you keep forgettin'
That you don't know me
Mercy I cry city, you're all upon my mind
Oh, send another carriage
Chugging down your chokey tube
I hope it makes you happy
'Cause it don't do my health much good
You're slowly killing fumes
Now squeeze the lemon in my head
Make me know just what it's like
For a sin drenched Christian to be dead
Ah, show to me your glitter
And your flashing neon light
You see, I think that only the sun knows
How to be quietly bright
Have mercy I cry city, you're all upon my mind
That sometimes I think you keep forgettin'
That you don't know me
Mercy I cry city, you're all upon my mind
Oh city, what you been doin'？
All these years, what you been doin'？
Who would believe that what you been doin'
Would make such a ruin of you？
Hey city, what you been doin'？
All these years, what you been doin'？
Who would believe that what you been doin'
Would make such a ruin of you？
Tell me city
52.Sunday Song
Lyricist：Heron Mike, Mc Kechnie Christina
In the church made of living trees entwined
Green and dapple golden trees enshrined us
I heard the mice murmur in the corners
Saw the moles move deep below the ground
Far below the great ships trembled
And a million men almost remembered
For one did, we are bonded, love is god
For one did we are bonded love is god
Gold is roses and horses
Kissing petals, swishing tails
Love is god, oh, sweet joy
Venus fell for a while in England
Air was sweet as milk
The boy child's kisses still changed into birds
Grasses were violet swaying like silk
Now my friends are scattered wide
Over planet earth, I have so much to tell each one
Those of chosen birth
My friends who fold their wings away in the day
Ah, strange surprise
Grass being green
On planet earth
Galaxy thirteen
Yes, I have so much to tell each one
Of things I truly know of our journeying creating golden dawn
Of our sweet and awesome bond
Why we fold our wings away in the day
Love is god, it's god, oh, sweet joy
53.Come With Me
Lyricist：Alex Syntek
I have a ship both sleek and fine
Sleek and fine
I point her bows wherever I will
The Seven Seas they all are mine
I call the winds
(I call the winds)
I call the winds
(I call the winds)
I call the winds, her sails to fill
If you will flee away with me
Flee away with me
And bid farewell to the land you know
I'll show you marvels presently
And wonders
(And wonders)
And wonders
(And wonders)
And wonders that the earth does show
The shouting mountains
(Oh, speak on sir)
The diamond valleys
(Oh, speak on sir)
The caves where sleep the stars by day
Eve's clouded bower
(Oh, speak on sir)
Adam's garden
(Oh, speak on sir)
The secret land that love does see
Oh, come with me
(Oh, come with me)
Oh, come with me
(Oh, come with me)
I will come with thee
The gentle spring rains will lave your face
(Oh, sweet waters)
The winds will bear your train
The morning birds will sing your song
The earth will call your name
The stars will be your canopy
The sun your candle flame
The greeny-gold wheat your incense sweet
My heart your windowpane
Oh, come with me
(Oh, come with me)
Oh, come with me
(Oh, come with me)
I will come with thee
54.Gently Tender
Lyricist：Heron Mike
Gently tender falls the rain
Washing clean the slate again
But leave me please, behind my brain
This light doesn't shadow on her
Shadows dancing through the pink milk blankets
Where my mind lay dreaming gently of my loving you
Sometimes I think I was true
But then I loved the stone beneath my feet as much, usually
Gently tender snow-drop grows
See the past tense quietly go
Kill the chord but let me know
This light doesn't shadow on her
Shadows dancing through the green bush trees
Where my toes crept breathing lightly of my loving you
Sometimes I think I was true
But then I loved the stone beneath my feet as much, usually
Slowly spitting crawls the snake
See the branches bend and break
Venom that might easily shake
This light doesn't shadow on her
Good, good loving, she gave me good loving
Good, good loving, she gave me good loving
Good, good loving, she gave me good
And now all my wine is water
To her all my wine is water
All water, and my pearls are clear
Good, good loving, she gave me good
Good, good loving, she gave me good
Good, good loving, she gave me good
And now all my wine is water
To her all my wine is water
All water, and my pearls are clear
She gave to me good loving
She gave to me good loving
She gave to me good loving
Ohh good loving
55.Down Before Cathay
Lyricist：Le Maistre Malcolm
Through red forests that lean against the hills
I wandered with my heart in my hand
My cloak wound down to the shores of Cathay
Where the gold lay scattered on the sand
Night was young back before the dawn
Casting kisses at the day
Shipping the sea bestriding the earth
Down before Cathay
The admirable deeds of Khubla Khan
We admired from the deck of our cedar wood ship
Observing the domes that prance from Mandalay
Where the dogs they sleep all the day
We gazed upon the Towers of Tyre
That rose coarse and spicy in the air
But we sailed up the coast to sidon
Where the gazes are so rare
Where the gazes are so rare
The ship shone its lamp across the silent air
That swirled before Cathay
And there on the sand that courts the amber sea
Our fair bodies we cast away
Night was young back before the dawn
Casting kisses at the day
Sipping the sea bestriding the earth
Down before Cathay
56.Adam And Eve
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Once before the world began
God was sitting in the sky
He began to get some mud together
Oh, I wonder why
First he made a man, then he made a woman
Mr. Adam and Miss Eve
They began to be good friends
As I can well believe
Oh, remember that morning
Remember that time
Take a warning
When you see the sign
Eve was sitting in the garden
When in came a serpent
â½Miss Eve take of this apple
And give it to your manâ
â½Give it to your man
I don't want it
Oh Adam, give it a try
Oh, give it a tryâ
Now friends if you're traveling
Never go taking an apple from a snake
If you do I will tell you true
Makin' a big mistake
Oh, remember that morning
Remember that time
Take a warning
When you see the sign
When you see the sign
57.Cosmic Boy
Lyricist：Michael Anthony Herard, Christina Mc Kechnie
I'm calling to you my cosmic boy
For I want to say hello
And I see you smile, your shining joy
Ah, you look so high, you look so high
And I shall dance for you
The sweetest dance that I can do
Yes, I shall dance the sweetest dance I can
Ah, you're looking so finy
All soft-eyed and shiny
And when you look how you are
Ah, I'm so proud, proud you are a friend of mine
And I shall dance for you
The sweetest dance that I can do
Yes, I shall dance the sweetest dance I can
All along the soft pink clouds, yes
On the rolling clouds endless, endless
58.Blues for the Muse
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
I wake up in the early when I see my day walk in
I wake up in the early when I start to begin
I drink up my coffee to drive dreams away
And I think about leaving but remain for the day
Oh, glory but I just stay blind
Think about my loving, yes, some of the time
I want to take it easy
Ain't it hard like they say
But I can play
And most any morning, most any morning
I like to be born into my guitar day
They say it's all butterflies
Don't let your dreams get in your eyes
But Orpheus made the sunrise
'Cause he knew how to play
Well, she sings so fadey, I called my guitar lady
She's a noted writer, I just can't seem to let her be
And she is my flower, I call her my easy hour
She's a low special, and baby that's enough for me
I got sorrow spells, I got sorrow spells
She showed up low to the blues away
And it's raining in the ocean, raining in the ocean
And stones on the mountain and just like they say
I'm just the string striker, just the lamplighter
I ain't no price fighter, it's easy to play
Well, she sings like the seashore
Tonight I don't ride on your seesaw
I will call up the angels if they have a little word to say
And I think I'll try cloud walking
It's just my face you see here talking
And it's just the guitar singing
And I have to let her have her way
And it's all right, you're in the graveyard now
And it's all right, you're in the graveyard now
You may weep, you may moan
You may pass your life so gay
But lucky in life, I swear sometimes
Surely going to have to meet your leaving day
Well, she sings like the seashore
Tonight I don't ride on your seesaw
I will call up the angels if they have a little word to say
And I think I'll try cloud walking
It's just my face you see here talking
And it's just the guitar singing
And I have to let her have her way
59.Robot Blues
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Down in Robot City, you might think it's play, play, play
Down in Robot City, you might think it's play, play, play
But a number 5 Robot, he must work in all the night and day
Number 1 come by, he give my work to me
Oil the flowers, fix the showers, clean the electronic trees
Shine the light, fix it right, now listen carefully
Don't you go romancing with that pretty number 3
And that's why, why I got the robot blues
Down in my heart compartment
Down in my old magnetic sole shoes
When I see that number 3, I get charge all in my dial
When I see that number 3, my piston fills with oil
You know what I'm talking about
But she likes that number 1 because he's rich with my toil,
toil, toil
That number 3, she charm the heart of any robot man
Moving her body like an old tin can
If I could get my claws on her I would lubricate her free
I've got a perfect action, why won't she play with me
And that's why, why I got the robot blues
Down in my heart compartment
Down in my old magnetic sole shoes
Well, I think I'll get a ray gun, I will see what that will do
Well, I think I'll get a ray gun, I think I'll get a ZZ Special
Q
I'll blast that number 1's gaskets
And his coils I will refuse to renew
He seen me coming, sneak up from behind
Switched off my vision and he left me stone blind
I could not see to blast him, here's the ending of my tale
He went off with number 3 and I cursed to no avail
And that's why, why I got the robot blues
Down in my heart compartment
Down in my old magnetic sole shoes
Down in my heart compartment
And down in my old magnetic sole shoes
60.Log Cabin Home In the Sky
Lyricist：Michael Anthony Herard
All around this wide country the winter it has now begun
Now is the time to slip away from the California sun
To a place where a man can be free as the wind
As wild as the huskies cry
Now winter is nigh let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky
With snow piling all round the door and many a log on the stove
Where the chickadee's singing a comforting song
I'll show you it's you that I love
Oh, let the wolves howl, they won't find us there by a soft oil
lamp we will lie
Now winter is nigh let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky
Now there comes a time to every man
When he must turn his back on the crowd
When the glare of the lights gets much too bright
And the music plays too loud
When a man must run from the deeds he has done
Recalling those days with a sigh
Now winter is nigh let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky
61.Turquoise Blue
Lyricist：Heron Mike
On the white sand a footprint on her back the golden sun
Is playing tunes on this lazy afternoon
It's high summer the sun's playing tunes
They're so beautiful to see only love can sing the harmony
Oh, my lover, she knows how to give a gift
She knows how to make a cool breeze sigh
Brings the warmth of summer to my bed at night
And she brings the color of the sky too turquoise blue
In the distance the birds sing
In the distance the sweet echoing
Of the flute she's playing on the hazy air over there
Oh shimmering day don't take me away
I'd rather be here than anywhere
62.Invocation
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
You that create the diversity of the forms
Open to my words
You that divide it and multiply it
Hear my sounds
I make yield league to you
Ancient associates and fellow wanderers
You that move the heart in fur and scale
I join with you
You that sing bright and subtle
Making shapes that my throat cannot tell
You that harden the horn
And make quick the eye
You that run the fast fox and the zigzag fly
You size less makers of the mole
And of the whale
aid me and I will aid you
I make a blood pact with you
You that lift the blossom and the green branch
You who make symmetries more true
You who consider the angle of your limbs
Who dance in slower time
Who watch the patterns
You rough coated
Who eat water
Who stretch deep and high
With your green blood
My red blood let it be mingled
Aid me and I will aid you
I call upon you
You who are unconfined
Who have no shape
Who are not seen
But only in your action
I will call upon you
You who have no depth
But choose direction
Who bring what is willed
That you blow love upon the summers of my loved ones
That you blow summers upon those loves of my love
Aid me and I will aid you
I make a pact with you
You who are the liquidness
Of the waters
And the spark of the flame
I call upon you
You who make fertile the soft earth
And guard the growth of the growing things
I make peace with you
You who are the blueness of the blue sky
And the wrath of the storm
I take the cup of deepness with you
Earth shakers
And with you the sharp and the hollow hills
I make reverence to you
Round wakefulness
We call the earth
I make wide eyes to you
You who are awake
Every created thing both solid and sleepy
Or airy light
I weave colors 'round you
You who will come with me
I will consider it
Beauty
I will consider it
Beauty, beauty
63.The Hedgehog's Song
Lyricist：Heron Mike
I'm not the kind to complain
That I never had a girl to love
Many a fine girl I tried hard to know
But I think I never tried enough
Sitting one day by myself
And I'm thinking what could be wrong？
When this funny little Hedgehog comes running up to me
And it starts up to sing me this song
'Oh, you know all the words, and you sung all the notes
But you never quite learned the song', she sang
'I can tell by the sadness in your eyes
That you never quite learned the song'
Every day when the sun go down
And the evening is so very still
Many a fine girl I've held in my arms
And I hope there's many more that I will
But just when everything is going fine
And absolutely nothing is wrong
This funny little Hedgehog's always around
And every time he wants to sing me this song
'Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes
But you never quite learned the song', she sang
'I can tell by the sadness in your eyes
That you never quite learned the song'
One day when the moon was full
I thought I might settle down
Found myself a pretty little girl
And I stopped all my running around
But just when the preacher come along
And he's just gonna pop on the ring
This funny little Hedgehog comes running down the aisle
And I don't have to tell you what he did sing
'Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes
But you never quite learned the song', she sang
'I can tell by the sadness in your eyes
That you never quite learned the song'
I'm not the kind to complain
That I never had a girl to love
Many fine girls I've tried hard to know
But I think I never tried enough
But now I'll be looking all my days
And it isn't just me I got to please
There's this funny little Hedgehog who's always around
And the only words he ever sings to me are these
'Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes
But you never quite learned the song', she sang
'I can tell by the sadness in your eyes
That you never quite learned the song'
I'm not the kind to complain
64.Bad Sadie Lee
Lyricist：Shankman Janet
I was born in Wild Wyoming I always fancied roaming
'Til I rode into Old Dodge City now I'll stay there til I die
Oh I'm wanted in Texas and Tennessee
Dead or alive Bad Sadie Lee I take just what I want as I pass by
I can draw faster than a man can see
I can shoot better than Annie Oakley
Ain't no one around who shoots better than me
And I'll show you just what I mean
I fired a shot at a buzzard on a limb
Killed him stone dead but it went through him
Shot a buffalo down in Mexico
Shot a blasted Jim Crow in a bar I never had been
I don't have to wait for Sadie Hawkins Day
All I have to holler is the word okay
They know I'll shoot them if they run away
But there's one true love I've had
The man I loved was called Daniel Boone
We crooned beneath the watermelon moon in June
But he left me for a ginger-haired ornery raccoon
And that's what turned me bad
65.Worlds They Rise And Fall
Lyricist：Michael Anthony Herard
Worlds they rise and fall
Within her eyes
She gives the eagle wings
To fly her skies
Upon her breath
The four winds
Live and die
And sometimes
It's all I can do is bow to her
But when the moon is misty
Through the trees
Right now, she says, 'I want to be
Your little girl'
Stars well, they glow and fade
Around her dance
For her the steep is climbed
The gulf is spanned
She lives, she lives
The bards sing
Around her stand
And sometimes
It's all I can do is bow to her
But when the moon is misty
Through the trees
Right now, she says, 'I want to be
Your little girl, your little girl'
66.Way Back In The 1960's
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
I was a young man back in the 1960's
Yes, you made your own amusements then
For going to the pictures
Well, the travel was hard and I mean
We still used the wheel
But you could sit down at your table
And eat a real food meal
But hey, you young people
Well, I just do not know
And I can't even understand you
When you try to talk slow
There was one fellow singing in those days
And he was quite good, and I mean to say that
His name was Bob Dylan, and I used to do gigs too
Before I made my first million
That was way, way back before
Before the wild World War Three
When England went missing
And we moved to Paraguayee
But hey, you young people
Well, I just do not know
And I can't even understand you
When you try to talk slow
Well, I got a secret, and don't give us away
I got some real food tins for my 91st birthday
And your grandmother bought them
Way down in the new antique food store
And for beans and for bacon, I will open up my door
But hey, you young people
Well, I just do not know
And I can't even understand you
When you try to talk slow
Well, I was a young man back in the 1960's
67.Footsteps Of The Heron
Lyricist：Heron Mike
One day as I sat in a big noisy crowd
There was me and the whole of my conscience
And I thought that I wouldn't be missed if I went
And that my going would be of no importance
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
And I'm not even chasing the sunset
So I walked down this street I had no one to meet
And my thoughts kinda gently were flowing
When I popped this pussycat because it lying
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
I'm not even chasing the sunset
The pussycat laughed and he followed me down
We walked through the crowds without motion
He said he would stay, but he ran clear away
I just laughed at his lack of devotion
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
I'm not even chasing the sunset
I met me this fink, tried to buy me a drink
And he says, â½I don't care 'bout no money'
I said, 'Neither do I, but I'd buy you a guy
If I thought you were trying to get funny'
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
And I'm not even chasing the sunset
This man I did meet, spoke to me through his feet
And he said, 'I don't care either 'bout no money'
I said, 'Neither do I but I buy wings to fly
'Cause without them the sun ain't so sunny'
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
And I'm not even chasing the sunset
68.Cutting The Strings
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
There now, they've all gone
Almost as if they never had been
I turn my eyes backwards
I gaze into my own gaze
I turn my eyes inwards
I gaze into my own face
I built my prison stone by stone
(I built my prison stone by stone)
How many useless knots I tied
(How many useless knots I tied)
I dug the footfalls in my path
(I dug the footfalls in my path)
How many useless tears I cried
(How many useless tears I cried)
Here to build in worlds of beauty
No one made a joy a duty
No one, no one but me
I saw the birds that flew so free
(I saw the birds that flew so free)
I envied them their grace divine
(I envied them their grace divine)
I saw the dancer's airy steps
(I saw the dancer's airy steps)
Theirs was a different world than mine
(Theirs was a different world than mine)
Here to build in worlds of glory
No one made my sad, sad story
No one, no one but me
When useless walls come tumbling down
Sparrows will sing on the fallen stones
Adam will pull the knife from his brow
Eve will lick the salt from his wounds
Free to make my own tomorrow
Free to free my heart from sorrow
Free to hear and smell and see
Free to be me, free to be free
69.Puppies
Lyricist：Michael Anthony Herard
Even the birds when they sing
It's not everything to them
Even the birds when they sing
It's not everything to them
Fiddle-head ferns and daffodils made me want to play
To the puppies having their little breakfast
So I picked up six fine strings and I began to play
What I thought that new born fur would like best
Hey, hey, such a new born morn
Hey, hey, the puppies they have gone
Left me here holding their song
Oh, music is so much less than what you are
Just how far can you take me？
How far can you take me, mother Nina？
Before I'm on my own
Don't imagine that the pretty flower can sing a song
When the sun makes it's sap to rise
One by one the chorus swells till it's a mighty noise
Are you sure that it's not a silence？
Hey, hey, such a new born morn
Hey, hey, the puppies they have gone
Left me here holding their song
Oh, music is so much less than what you are
Just how far can you take me？
How far can you take me, mother Nina？
Before I'm on my own
Even the birds when they sing
It's not everything to them
Even the birds when they sing
Spread their wings to Heaven and fly away
70.Sailor And The Dancer
Lyricist：Le Maistre Malcolm
Beneath some shaded planet
Before this earth was born
We came together
And we danced in the early dawn
For my hands contain ten dances
That shall bear us into the night
Into the sea
And the moon's morning light
Night mimed a bow and broke into the day
Fair sailors and their cautious friends
Smiled on the sea
That reflected all their gazes
And danced with the air
The breezes filled the sails
High against the quay
High on the limpid waves the ship it did fly
Rising as a condor into the silvery sky
Passing through the arches that begin his earth
The sailors saw the scenic air
As air gave Earth it's birth
Gazing ahead towards today
They saw the fields of this world
They watched the first new dancers
As their bodies did unfurl
71.My Father Was A Lighthouse Keeper
Lyricist：Malcolm T. Le Maistre
Lying on the beach with desire
Rocking to the music of the waves
I was in despair, my heart needed repair
My lover had lied to me but
I was bored by what I saw there
Why？ Why？ Why？
My father was a lighthouse keeper
Watched the waves getting steeper
Watched the ships going down
In Cadillacs they sailed with the tide
Beneath the pier the sea, she stroked the night
I rocked a little then I moved my body again
My lover kissed my lips
I was digging what I saw there
Why？ Why？ Why？
My father was a lighthouse keeper
Watched the waves getting steeper
Watched the ships going down
We watched the days slip by and the stars explode
And we watched them once again
Oh, the laughter rose a cheer
Oh, the laughter so nice to hear
Oh, the laughter so good and free
Oh, the laughter so nice to see
I lay among the shells and coke cans in my lover
All the people were eating and smiling sadly in their big cars
My father looked down from his lighthouse
He saw it all he knew it all then he laughed a little
Oh, so pretty
Oh, so easy
72.Saturday Maybe
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
Factory chimney cough yellow smoke
Trucks and trains go rumbling
Throw down your key from your window high
Your man's out drinking
Neighbors thinking evil
Lead by the the lights of your electric fire
Your gray slips falls around your feet
And across the sheet your nut brown curls go tumbling
We don't have long before he comes home from the bar
I'll be gone a week of Sundays
Meet me by the bronze horse or the clock tower
Try to come Friday, Saturday maybe
Don't cry now you'll freak the baby
73.Dumb Kate
Lyricist：Heron Mike
Dumb Kate, she's no Indian, no Mexican neither
Come up from San Diego long ago
Settled in Nome Alaska, best place that she could be
Half the people there froze right to the bone
Warm 'em up Kate
Nobody does business like Kate do
Dumb as she is
She's so dumb, she don't know just when to stop
Dumb as she is
Oh, oh, she don't quit givin' it
No, no, she don't quit givin' it
If the corn liquor don't get to you
Kate will
She used to serve tables down at the Last Post grill room
Where they chewed on the beef with a lean and a hunted jaw
While waiting for that slow train
Going where the sun is glowing
She'll keep your blood just moving right till the thaw
74.Chinese White
Lyricist：Heron Mike
The bent twig of darkness
Grows the petals of the morning
It shows to them the birds singing
Just behind the dawning
Come dip into the cloud cream lapping
I can't keep my hand on the plough
Because it's dying
But I will lay me down with my arms
Round a rainbow
And I will lay me down to dream
Oh, will your magic
Christmas tree be shining
Gently all around？
Climbing up these figures
The sun is tugging at my shoulder
And every step I take
I think, my feet are getting older
I see the crystal dreams unfolding
I can't keep my eyes on the book
Because it's mouldering
But I will lay me down with my arms
Round a rainbow
And I will lay me down to dream
Oh, will your magic
Christmas tree be shining
Gently all around？
75.Lordly Nightshade
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
Captured by Hitler with Oliver Twist in the tower
Guards say, 'Here's pens and paper, just sit down and work for
an hour'
Oh, goodness, how can we escape？ But it's not worthwhile
All I can do is smile
Down gallons of glandular corridors of the dark castle
The pompous old bellman is tolling one bell
At bath time there's hippies in chains, they are crossing the
hall
Where Hitler is making his new film about it all
We slip trough a pew and escape, but I just don't know
All I can do is grow
Tell me more, what then
Down Main Street I go on a duffel-coat hoping instead
For a little room, yawn, I'm so tired with this big bag of coal
on my head
It's a top hat, I'm trying to sell or a lesson to learn
Vaguely seeking some fire to burn
While a whole group of middle aged persons with dwarfish
expressions
And tinned conversations in Sunday blessed blue
Standing around for a photograph, watch the cuckoo
Do you need any coal？ But it doesn't appear that they do
Then I offered my throat to the wolf, but I just can't die
All I can do is fly
Tell me more, what then
Safe and secure in the skirts of the midsummer wood
Cooking soup with stale words and fresh meanings, it tastes so
good
The green wolf with his bunch of red roses is slinking away
All on a summer's day
76.Cousin Caterpillar
Lyricist：Heron Mike
My cousin has great changes coming
One day he'll wake with wings
My cousin has great changes coming
One day he'll wake with wings
Cousin caterpillar
Seven pairs of legs for you
My cousin caterpillar
Can you tell me just what they do？
Well, all that I can say is that they seem to help some way
To pull my little body along, pull my little body along
Well first I didn't know their use but worrying you only lose
So I said I love you and I love what you do, come on do your
thing
My cousin as you see takes his changes easily
Oh happy we, could we take each change so easily？
Then all that we would say is that it seem to help some way
To pull our little bodies along, to pull our little bodies along
My cousin has great changes coming
One day he'll wake with wings
77.Antoine
Lyricist：Heron Mike
So still the green and golden plain in icy spring
They young French convent girls in white singing
He took the sacrament young Antoine not without a blush
He left the priest the good book the bread and cup
And took with him the voices hanging in the silver space
Not till he'd reached the vineyard rim did he look down
On the gentle valley breathing in the sun
Seeing the eastern slope where she lived he spoke her name
In love beyond his years he saw the mist come down
And knew there would be many mists
He'd look through for this mountain star
Ah, if you'd seen me there hiding in the orchard
Rejoicing in my warm salt tears
Holding to my heart the beauty of a sad song
Needing, needing you
78.Old Buccaneer
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Sissie wouldn't believe, when I told her the old man was gone
The one who lived all alone in the shack on the shore
That's so hard to find, so had to go past
He used to light our cigarettes and never tell anyone
He had blue tattoos and he'd tell us tall stories
From the bottom of a rum glass
He's got things to see on the Spanish main
He's gone away for awhile
He's gone skull daggering on the Spanish main
He's gone away far away
Thought I heard sails creaking as the stars paled
Anchor chains clinking as the night failed way out on the bay
No one else knows how he crowed
When they crowned him king of the cannibal isles
Or how he'd really feel blind drunk
At the wheel through a high hurricane
He could dupe the devil at dice
And charm charmers with his beguiling smile
How he fell in love in Lima and a schemer stole his pearly girl
And broke his heart again
Now all the foes he killed, call him in to fight
With their beckoning bones
And all the gold he stole sparkles in the morning light
His sweet ladies are all alone
Sissie dear, let's not go near the church today
The big bells tolling the hearse
Goes rolling the holy Jose pray
As they lay him away
Lived one too many winters cold, cold weather
Had to sail down to the south sea waters warm
His old bones there
Let an old man go through
Let an old man go through
79.Explorer
Lyricist：Heron Mike
I can no longer hear you call 'cross the airwaves
Fog on the line has shaken my will not to yield
The one left here, my command all gone down
I'm caught, caught, where the cold dark fingers trace
Where the men who failed, they lie and kiss the dark earth's
face
I am lost, lost, by the storm clouds am tossed
Now here comes the snow deep
And I will take a sleep, sweet Margaret my dear tell me
It was long and a strong and sweet year indeed to get lost in
I've seen the survivors when they come home from the ice fields
The lace and the ladies' flush and a pearl on the eye
Fine bone china and the log fire spark high
But I'm back in the wasteland low
Where the ripe seed never gets blown
What chance I'll see to sun on the lea, hear the cornfield moan
I am lost, lost, by the storm clouds am tossed
Now here comes the snow deep
And I will take sleep, sweet Margaret my dear, tell me
It was a long and a strong and a sweet year indeed to get lost
in
No one to hear me when I cry
No one to hold me when I sigh
No one to watch me when I die
How will I live again？
80.Maybe Someday
Lyricist：Heron Mike
Maybe someday she will come, come along, long
Maybe someday she will come along
Maybe someday she will come, come along, long
Maybe someday she will come along
Sitting here with my arms around my music
Thinking of the girl that I might spend
The whole of my days with
Maybe someday she will come, come along, long
Maybe someday she will come along
Maybe someday she will come, come along, long
Maybe someday she will come along
Until then I will do the best that I can
Any fine young girl that I might meet
'That I could use, keep my eye on
Maybe someday she will come, come along, long
Maybe someday she will come along
Maybe someday she will come, come along, long
Maybe someday she will come along
Mother tried the very best that she could do
That was no good, the one she chose
Did not like the way her teeth grew
Maybe someday she will come, come along, long
Maybe someday she will come along
Maybe someday she will come, come along, long
Maybe someday she will come along
One fine day I took a walk down by the river
Fair maid did lie and she did sigh
As I stooped down to kiss her
Maybe someday she will come, come along, long
Maybe someday she will come along
Maybe someday she will come, come along, long
Maybe someday she will come along
81.October Song
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
I'll sing you this October song
Oh, there is no song before it
The words and tune are none of my own
For my joys and sorrows bore it
Beside the sea
The brambly briers in the still of evening
Birds fly out behind the sun
And with them I'll leaving
The fallen leaves that jewel the ground
They know the art of dying
And leave with joy their glad gold hearts
In the scarlet shadows lying
When hunger calls my footsteps home
The morning follows after
I swim the seas within my mind
And the pine-trees laugh green laughter
I used to search for happiness
And I used to follow pleasure
But I found a door behind my mind
And that's the greatest treasure
For rulers like to lay down laws
And rebels like to break them
And the poor priests like to walk in chains
And God likes to forsake them
I met a man whose name was Time
And he said, 'I must be goin'â
But just how long ago that was
I have no way of knowing
Sometimes I want to murder time
Sometimes when my heart's aching
But mostly I just stroll along
The path that he is taking
82.Creation
Lyricist：Williamson Robin D H
The messengers with sharpened heels
Flew backwards into whose galloping arms
And the impassioned Phoenix
Drawls a sad goodnight to fiction's tomb
Then come to me secretly
And with your silken feather
And with your silken feather
Open your rooms, open your rooms
Never, in fact, as he gazed amazed
At two lost eyebrows lisping into the unexpected
And the archetypal postman delivering your seed letters
Whose eyes are black eggs really
Upon a long shore, upon a long shore
Open your door, open your door
â½Ask anyoneâ, he muttered, as he spat a small
Brilliant blue insect, whirring into the gauze
I would advise stilts for the quagmires
And camels for the snowy hills and any survivors
Their debts I will certainly pay
There's always a way, there's always a way
I smiled with that gallantly concealed forceful nervousness
That has proved that oysters cry
And that I have come to know and accept as myself
And plucking a barbed feather from the morose universe
I called him deathless, and he left before he could reply
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Our first father, Abraham, whose bosom
Was the unique soul of the humans
Was certainly as bewildered as we are
If not infinitely more so, and with an ancient
Ceremonial gesture of dismissal, he pointed forward
Verily, verily
Verily, verily
Verily, verily
Verily, verily
The first day was golden
And she colored the Sun
And she named it Hyperion
And she made it a day of light and healing
The second was silver
And she colored the Moon
And she named it Phoebe
And she made a day of enchantment and the living waters
And the third was many-colored
And she colored the Earth
And she made a day of joy
With the scarlet strength of seed
In the fourth black and white were mingled into quicksilver
And she colored Mercury
And she made a day of wisdom
And the signs that are placed in the firmament
The fifth was bright blue
And she envisaged Jupiter
And she made a day of awe and circles, circles
And she sent it to guide the blood of the universe
The sixth was burning with icy, green flames that glowed white
And of her beauty she made Venus
And she made a day of love
Whereby all beings are united
The seventh was rich purple of the mollusks
And she colored Chronos
And she made a day of idleness and repose
Whereon all beings cease from struggle
Verily, verily
Verily, verily
Verily, verily
Verily, verily
I am the pebble in your very own eye
I am the sword and your enemy dies
I am the storm and the hurricane wind
I am the thorn of an unkind friend
I am desire what color my eyes？
I am Loki, wizard of lies
Catch me, find me, see me if you can
I am the guilt of an honest man
I am the pebble in your very own eye
I am the sword and your enemy dies
I am the storm and the hurricane wind
I am the thorn of an unkind friend
I am desire what color my eyes？
I am Loki, wizard of lies
Catch me, find me, see me if you can
I am the guilt of an honest man
Then seven times we raised our arms
And with cat-stretch
Sent our foot spells
Yawning into the multitudes
In need we called upon the mother of all living
Three times for succor, but with ambitious spears
They made us change, they crouched behind
Their mirrors and fought on
I will not allow them praise
That broke the harmonious globe in splintered fragments
And yet, they moved perforce with a perfect pattern
And complemented harmony with discord, and light with darkness
It was then
That we stepped out of our world machine
Between the palm and the fingers
Peeling like gloves
And for each eye that shed one tear
We made of that tear an ocean
And in the five directions
We loosed our several craft
Wild sea, I say today
Please, be a sweet cow for me
Amethyst galleon, out on the rolling sea
Gentle as lightning, easily
Take me to the root of the world tree
Amethyst galleon, out on the rolling sea
Your face is consumed in a bruised sky's glance
By the brazen wall with your sword and lance
Where dappled maidens, endless danced
'Round the root of the world tree
Wild sea, I say today
Please, be a sweet cow for me
Amethyst galleon, out on the rolling sea
Wild sea, my love is salty for me
Every ripple in her body is a wave in me
Amethyst galleon, out on the rolling sea
Hold tight, sleep tight
83.Can't Keep Me Here
Lyricist：Heron Mike
I'm going way over the white skyline
And I'll sing and be happy
And you can't keep me here, no how
And I'll sing and be happy
And my world is my own
And I'll do what I want to
And you can't keep me here, no how
Hey baby, don't cry for me
Hey baby, when the sun comes up, I'll be free
And I'm going way over the white skyline
And I'll sing and be happy
And you can't keep me here, no how
Ah baby, don't cry for me
Hey baby, when the sun comes up, I'll be free
And I'm going way over the white skyline
And I'll sing and be happy
'Cause you can't keep me here, no how
84.The Eyes Of Fate
Lyricist：Robin Williamson
Oh, who can see in the eyes of fate？
All life alone in its chronic patterns
Oh, swan, let me fly you
To the land of no winds blowing
I know nothing and know that I know nothing
All is in the eye and in its blinks of seeing
So just like the morning
The ghost of the following day
Listen
Ory, ory, ory, ory
Rear the rollers wild and stormy
Echoes wholly only lonely long before, ory ory
All rivalry and opinion still cast their wild spells
Effort and contrariness change the directions of time
The lion still growls in your hollowness
Please let's be easy, please let's be friends
Watching and learning like small children
Till out of the morning is growing the strength of the day
Listen
Ory, cry, cry, ory
Rear the rollers wild and stormy
Echoes wholly only lonely long before, ory, ory
Servant of fame or fame for a servant
You see what you see, you see seldom what is
Servant of fate or fate for a servant
You see what you see, you see seldom what is
Servant of fate, oh
85.Rainbow
Golden seeds of autumn
Streak the purple sky
Miles of amber raindrops
Stretch between our hands
Just then, just then, my heart leapt high
Beautiful colors danced in my eye
Walked to the window looked up at the sky
As I lit an evening candle
Feeling you were there with me
All around me
Saw your love come shining brightly
You're a rainbow
And me I'll come shining though
Rain's gone and the sky is blue
I'm a rainbow too
No one can say how long I've loved you
Rainbow shine
No one can say 'cause nobody knows
Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow time
Morning light of springing snowdrop
Golden sun at midday hour, twilight violet
Midnight stars come shining silver
You're a rainbow
And you take my breath away
You make me stop and say
I'm a rainbow too
If you see a soft light falling
And you feel I'm there with you
All those colors
They do not come from the candle, oh no
You're a rainbow
Born are the words
On the silent wings of love
So dear to me, sweet song of love
Colored are the words
With the rainbow of truth
So dear to me
As long as I live
I will sing that song so dear
So dear to me
And merging with mine
The voice of all that you are will shine
So dear to me
Sweet song of love
And me I'll come shining through
Rain's gone and the sky is blue
I'm a rainbow too
No one can say how long I've loved you
Rainbow shine
No one can say 'cause nobody knows
Rainbow, rainbow time
Me, I'm not missing you
I'm right there kissing you
I'm a rainbow too
I can tell by your eyes
You've been singing that old sweet song
Let your love roll on
Everybody here I think will agree
That they can sing that song
As good as can be
You know I'd hate to go
I'd hate to go
Before I see everybody here
Shine like a rainbow
I have seen you there
86.White Bird
Who among you has not laid his head
Beneath some holy awning？
Would think that such a night of tortured traveling
Could bring such a glory morning？
And feel his heart sucked to his head
His head so wide, that all life says
Has room to live and breathe
And have its being and more
For such a scene of beauty
For such a scene of beauty
Encompasses
See the white bird on the water
In beauty calm and still
White bird, white bird, white bird
Of the morning
White bird, white bird
White bird, white bird, white bird
Of the morning
White bird, white bird
See he watches the white bird
Of the morning
White bird, white bird
See he watches the white bird
Of the morning
White bird, white bird
Warm in his ecstasy
A shimmering gentle backward fall
He leaves his body there so small
And mirror black against the sun
With deities for strength
He sees his body wracked with pain
And hears his voice so stained
With sadness deep
It asks the day to weep away
Loved her so strong now
She is gone
My heart will break for ever
Sun and moon change around
Me the games seem so strange
Walk in the light, I shall never
Walk in the light, I will never
White bird, white bird, white bird
Of the morning
White bird, white bird
White bird, white bird, white bird
Of the morning
White bird, white bird
White bird, white bird, white bird
Of the morning
White bird, white bird
White bird, white bird, white bird
Of the morning
White bird, white bird
Speak to me with your beauty
Oh white bird of the morning
Oh, he cried, oh, he cried
But stopped short
Seeing not water but ice
Death not life
Dead white bird dead white bird
Walking onward every day
Sunshine in our faces
Sun knows what goes on below
But still our faces graces
No disgraces, no distastes
Nothing wasted at all
White bird, white bird, white bird
Of the morning
White bird, white bird
