The Book Of Taliesyn

       LISTEN, LEARN, READ ON       Содержание  
In ages past when were spells were cast
In a time of men in steel
When a man was called no special name
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 children 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 senates...'
The hare he bounds across the page
Past castles white and fair
Two dreaming chessmen on their boards
With a fool's mate as a snare
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
'Three times I have been warned
I know this from meditation...'
The bird he flies the distance
From pages two to six
Past minstrels in their boxes
To the water on the sticks
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 breasts, for I
know what has been, what is now, and what hereafter will
occur...'

       KENTUCKY WOMAN       Содержание
Kentucky Woman she shines in her own kind light
She looks at you once in a day
And what's wrong and what's right
And I love her, God knows I love her
Kentucky Woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky Woman
She has the kind of turn at the drop of a game
Well all the things she does they turn you on just the same
And I love her, God knows I love her
Kentucky Woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky Woman
I don't want much
The Good Lord's there beneath the feat
A gentle touch
I've had one girl and life its sweet and good
There ain't no doubt, talking about
Kentucky Woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman she shines in her own kind light
She looks at you once in a day
And what's wrong and what's right
And I love her, yes I do, I love her
Kentucky Woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman

       WE CAN WORK IT OUT       Содержание
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go wrong
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love will 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 goodnight
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
I'll ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While I see it your way
There's a chance that we might 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
I'll ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While I see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
At least we can try
We can try out to work it out someday				
		
       SHIELD       Содержание
Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream
While the 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 and riding cloud
Which may take me from you
Many things a man can lose
His self, 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 the 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 a shield
So trust in you love, and we'll see up above
And let light pass like a wheel
Don't take the chance of life's sacred dance
Kiss the strength of a shield
The seeker will be found by the look on the ground
And to his wish he will yield
Fate will have it's word, of course
But time will change its course
And hold the strength of a shield		
		
       ANTHEM       Содержание
When the night wind softly blows through my open window
Then I start to remember the girl that brought me joy
Now the night wind softly blows 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 me by
In the warm and fevered dark
Heart is madly beating
My crazy thoughts are burning
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

       RIVER DEEP, MOUNTAIN HIGH       Содержание
When you were a young girl
Did you want a rag doll
The only doll you've ever owned
Now I'll love you just the way you loved that rag doll
Only now my love has grown
It gets stronger as the river flows
Deeper baby, heaven knows
Higher, as it goes
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby
When you were a young girl
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never never let you down
Cos it gets stronger as the river flows
It gets deeper baby, heaven knows
It gets higher, so much higher, as it goes
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby
I love you baby like a flower loves a spring
I love you baby like a wrong man likes to sin
I love you baby like a schoolboy likes his pie
And oh I love you baby, River deep, Mountain high
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby.
