The Book of Taliesyn
In ages past when spells were cast In a time of men and steel Where a man was taught no special thing It was all done by feel So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the book of Taliesyn Hear the song of lovely Joan Her sound so sweet and clear In the courtroom of the King Among dukedom and the peers So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the book of Taliesyn Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn On the foaming beach of the ocean, in the day of trouble I shall be of more service to thee than three hundred salmon... The hare he bounds across the page Past castles white and fair To dreaming chessmen on their boards Where the fool's mate is a snare So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the book of Taliesyn So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the book of Taliesyn Three times I have been born, I know through meditation... The bird he flies the distance From pages two to six Past minstrels in their boxes To the waters of the snakes So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the book of Taliesyn Don't take the pictures lightly Listen to their sound For from their coloured feeling Experience is found So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the book of Taliesyn All the sciences of the world are collected in my breast For I know what has been, what is now And what hereafter will occur...

Try to see it my way Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on? While you see it your way Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone We can work it out We can work it out Think of what you're saying You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright Think of what I'm saying We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night We can work it out We can work it out Life is very short, and there's no time For fussing and fighting, my friend I have always thought that it's a crime So I will ask you once again Try to see it my way Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong While you see it your way There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long We can work it out We can work it out Life is very short, and there's no time For fussing and fighting, my friend I have always thought that it's a crime So I will ask you once again Try to see it my way Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong While you see it your way There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long We can work it out We can work it out

Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream While her children play in the field Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life But how strong is the shield? Can peace be found on the carpet above ground? Where sky is forever blue So let it pass baby now The slow inviting cloud Which may take me from you Many things a man can lose, his health, his rights, his views But never his heart or his love So take this hand of mine and climb baby, climb To the hill up above Now you can play a queen on that hill built on a dream While our children play in the field I can smoke the pipe of a sweet and better life And trust in the strength of the shield So trust in your love, and you'll see up above And let life pass like a wheel Don't take the chance of life's hectic dance Kiss the strength of the shield The seeker will be found by the looker underground And to his wish ye will yield Fate will have it's word, of course But time will change it's course And hold the strength of the shield

When the night winds softly blow Through my open window Then I start to remember The girl that brought me joy Now the night winds softly blow Sadness to tomorrow Bringing tears to eyes so tired Eyes I thought could cry no more If the day would only come Then you might just appear Even though you'd soon be gone When I reached out my hand If I could see you If only I could see you To see if you are laughing or crying When the night winds softly blow In my dark and whispering room Memories still bring me A numbness to my feelings Take my hand and brush my brow In the warm and fevered dark Heart is madly beating My crazy thoughts are worrying When the night winds softly blow If the day would only come Then you might just appear Even though you'd soon be gone When I reached out my hand If I could see you If only I could see you To see if you are laughing or crying When the night winds softly blow If the day would only come Then you might just appear Even though you'd soon be gone When I reached out my hand If I could see you If only I could see you To see if you are laughing or crying When the night winds softly blow
