Song information
Artist: The Incredible String Band Album: The Incredible String Band
Lyrics
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 briars in the still of evening Birds fly out behind the sun And with them I'll leavng
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 sed 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 the
I met a man whose name was time And he said, "i must be goin," But just how long 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
