Under The Greenwood Tree lyrics

Under The Greenwood Tree lyrics song presented by Donovan : Under the greenwood tree Who loves to lie with me And tune his merry note Unto the sweet bird's Come hither come hither come hither Here shall he see no enemy But winter and rough weather Who doth ambition shun And love to live in the sun Seeking the food he eats And pleased with what he gets Come hither come hither come hither Here shall he see no enemy But winter and rough weather And if it do come to pass That any man turn ass Leaving his wealth and ease A stubborn will to please Ducdame ducdame ducdame There shall he see gross fools as he And if will come to me

Your Broken Heart lyrics

Your Broken Heart lyrics song presented by Donovan : You may ask a million wise men You may search a thousand books You may seek friend's consolation And their sympathetic looks They can't tell you what to do They ain't got no words for you Only you know what to do with your broken heart... Only you know what to do with your broken heart. All around you life has fallen You watch the pieces scatter fast Your lover heeds another calling Now you're living in the past... They can't tell you what to do They ain't got no words for you Only you know what to do with your broken heart. Secret cowboy in the canyon Four wheel driving stallion Country music in his fingers Another girl within his heart He can't tell you what to do He ain't got no words for you Only you know what to do with your broken heart... Only you know what to do with your broken heart... Only you know what to do with your broken heart.

Widow With Shawl (A Portrait) lyrics

Widow With Shawl (A Portrait) lyrics song presented by Donovan : Dear Wind that shakes the barley free Blow home my true love's ship to me, fill the sail I a-weary wait upon the shore. Forsake her not in times of storm Protect her oaken beams from harm, fill her sail I a-weary wait upon the shore. Whither he be in Africa Or deep asleep in India, fill his dreams I a-weary wait upon the shore. Dear snow white gulls upon the wave I, like you, am lamenting, for my love. I a-weary cry upon the shore. And in my chariot of sleep, I ride the vast and dreamy deep deep sea. I awake a-weary on the shore. Seven years and Seven days, No man has seen my woman ways, dear God. I a-weary cry upon the shore. Along the shingled beach I go The wind about me as I make my way To my weary dream upon my bed. Dear Wind that shakes the barley free Blow home my true love's ship to me, fill the sail. I a-weary wait upon the shore.

Voyage Into The Golden Screen lyrics

Voyage Into The Golden Screen lyrics song presented by Donovan : In the golden garden Bird of Peace Stands the silver girl the Wild Jewels niece Paints in pretty colors Children's drawings on the wall Look of doubt I cast you out begone your ragged call In the forest thick a trick of light Makes an image magnet to my sight Gown of purple velvet enchanted glazed eye The sound of wings and sparkling rings behold a crimson sky Tread so light so not to touch the grass Breathe the air so slowly as you pass Silent sudden dewdrop lies unseen until Eyes to fall to hidden call the power of Love and Will Symphonies of Seaweed dance and swoon Surreal Celestial shore beneath the Moon See the dark and mighty peaks pierce the Cumulus Violet and mauve they sit power you can Sus' Elvin fingers clutch a deep black cloak of fine Damask Aged rock incarnate lie reveal a bejeweled cask

The Tinker And The Crab lyrics

The Tinker And The Crab lyrics song presented by Donovan : On the windy beach the sun is shining through with Weather fair White horses riding on the seas pasture onto the Sand Over the Dunes came a travelling man Sack on back Wild flowers in his hand Old rusty cans, pebbles 'bedded in the sand stand And stare Scratching his beard through the grass he steered His sandy shoe Disappearing in the dips pondering and wandering Along Nice as you please comes the travelling man Drinking a bottle of milk in his hand Speaking to no one in particular but happily Down where young gulls dance driftwood lying drying For the fire Yellow beak and sleek now the gulls are crying Flying higher Out from the sea came a little green Crab Taking the Sun the morning being very drab Old rusty cans, pebbles 'bedded in the sand stand And stare The Tinker and the Crab The Tinker and the Crab The Tinker and the Crab

The Quest lyrics

The Quest lyrics song presented by Donovan : Why veil the sun? Why darken the water? "Thy will be done" if you think you ought to. No-one can see you when you're on your own. No-one can be you. Take your time don't hurry; It's alright don't worry! You've just begun for to awaken. Do walk, don't run! You're not forsaken. No-one can free you from your own prison. No-one can see you... Take your time, don't hurry! It's alright, don't worry! -Instrumental Solo- It's alright, don't worry! (final chorus repeated)

The Magpie lyrics

The Magpie lyrics song presented by Donovan : The magpie is a most illustrious bird Dwells in a diamond tree One brings sorrow and one brings joy Sorrow and joy for me The magpie is a most royal bird Black and blue as night I would that I had feathers three Black and blue and white I saw the gentle magpie bird In dusky yester-eve One brought sorrow and one brought joy And sooner than soon did leave

The Land Of Doesn't Have To Be lyrics

The Land Of Doesn't Have To Be lyrics song presented by Donovan : There is a land not far from the ears of sound The eyes of sight can't see It's over the trees You'll be there by tomorrow's breeze Few people get there quick by their chosen road They don't know it quicker to go By natural velocity There is a wall of doubt surrounding Everything that's there Children fair They ride there On the dreamy mare And at the great big gate Waiters wait They must fill the form Denounce the norm They are torn Twixt praise and scorn And in the dawning dawn Yawners yawn Not knowing they've been Or they've seen What they've seen Or never seen

The Garden lyrics

The Garden lyrics song presented by Donovan : In the garden of Truth There dwells as bird With feathers of a yellow gold And all thru' the day The sun he play upon his raiment gay In the garden of Truth There dwells as bird With feathers of a silver pale And all night long The moon she shone upon her raiment warm And all within the branches of this great oak tree That some call the Tree of Life And the wise men they come And they rest upon the roots And they hear the song. And all within the branches of this great oak tree That some call the Tree of Life Ande the wisemen they come To rest upon the roots And they hear the song.

The Enchanted Gypsy lyrics

song presented by Donovan : Donovan Leitch The Enchanted Gypsy A day once dawned, As sleepers yawned A day of leaves so green-i-o That a man rode high In the tinker's sky And begged me to go running-o And follow the path of the Gypsy-o Seaweed clings to ruby rings On the fingers of my lady-o And the people in the town They would not look round To see me go running-o On the trail of the Enchanted Gypsy-o I passed the glade And took me a shade Beneath an oak so twisty-o And a vision I saw As the crow did craw No more did I go searching-o One the trail of the Enchanted Gypsy-o Seaweed clings to ruby rings On the fingers of my lady-o And the people in the town They would not look round To see me go running-o On the trail of the Enchanted Gypsy-o His caravan Was painted by hand That's touched every pebble in the ocean-o And the pictures there They move in thin air There forever telling-o The tails of the Enchanted Gypsy-o Seaweed clings to ruby rings On the fingers of my lady-o And...

Starfish-On-The-Toast lyrics

Starfish-On-The-Toast lyrics song presented by Donovan : Fine rock a-pooling coast This starfish on the toast The men in the crabbing boats they cry Far across the harbor And 'round the sandy cove The shepherd with his pipe and sheep he drove Big cloud tumbling high The amazing flying sky How the gulls are pillaging the town Fan faring daffodilly Trumpetingly small All along the bathing hut wall Far across the empty beach The tide has left this world Old men in tweed find study there Holding whelks and periwinkles Tingling in his hand Little does he know they hold him too Fine rock pooling coast This starfish on the coast The men in the crabbing boat they cry....

Salvation Stomp lyrics

Salvation Stomp lyrics song presented by Donovan : Salvation Stomp When I heard that crazy music comin' out the scene, That achin', shakin' shuffle down along the Mississippi Queen That rough and randy off-beat, and that funky bass, That slinky, snakey, kinky licorice sticking up the place Couldn't keep my feet from jumping - Couldn't keep my toes from tapping - Salvation Stomp Couldn't keep my feet from jumping - Salvation Stomp Couldn't keep my plates of meat from flippin and flopping all along. Wild Cat Harry wheelin' great big flying boots Spillin' floorboards as the trumpeter, he go a rooty tooty toot Long haired, lanky lady, black drag delight, yeah Just jiggin' up and down, hey, man, she was a jiggin' out of sight. Couldn't keep my feet from jumping - Salvation Stomp Couldn't keep my toes from tapping - Salvation Stomp Couldn't keep my feet from jumping - Salvation Stomp Couldn't keep my plates of meat from flippin and...

Ramblin' Boy lyrics

Ramblin' Boy lyrics song presented by Donovan : As I linger on this windy road My suitcase in my hand I think on how some hours ago Together we did stand Bewildered tears lay in your eyes As you tried to make me see That if you gave your love to me I could leave so easily Cos I am called the ramblin' boy Like the wind that is so free Yes I am called the ramblin' boy So ramblin' boy I'll be I turn my collar to the cold I pull my cap down low I sing this song I wrote for you Wherever I may go So I linger on this windy road I hope your tears are dry Don't you never forget this ramblin' boy No matter how hard you try Cos I am called the ramblin' boy Like the wind that is so free Yes I am called the ramblin' boy So ramblin' boy I'll be

People Used To lyrics

People Used To lyrics song presented by Donovan : People used to get together round a fire Fishes were cooked, songs were sung Moonlight used to guide our way home in the dark Do you find it hard remembering? And still you people tell me life is easy to get on with But what I've got so far's enough to get along with People tell me that it's so oh - oh I don't know anymore, I don't know People used to get together round a problem Eyes were looked at tongues were true People used to stop and say how do you do Do you find it hard remembering? And still you people tell me life is easy to get on with But what I've got so far's enough to get along with People tell me that it's so oh - oh I don't know anymore, I don't know People used to spend an hour making tea Easy easy was the rule People used to pause to think and contemplate He who hurried was the fool And still you people tell me life is easy to get on with But what I've got so far's enou...

Pebble And The Man lyrics song presented by Donovan : Little pebble upon the sand Now you're lying here in my hand How many years have you been here?
