lyrics

The wind is only a sigh
Of a troubled mind
On the horizon
When the mood's in a tune
To hurl and whirl
Through your skin
And the leaves who have fallen
Pick up your oars, pick up your oars and row
Pick up your rope, pick up your rope and tow
We'll all be as the sand is tomorrow

Can you feel your skin
As the loom sets in
With sorrow and sin
And the pangs and the pain
Of yesterday's rain
Clings an'
Swirls round your drain
It's only a play, only a play in game
Only a day, only a day in the rain
Only wish to see you tomorrow again

But before the end
Like a foe and a friend
I was thrown to you
To all the extents
And casual pretence
Of chores to do
In the world that surrounds you
But there are no groves, are no groves for candy trees
Are no homes, are no homes for the waves at sea
We'll meet again between the frames of a movie scene

And if God should ask
Of doom and romance
Sing a song for me
Of the dreamy night pearls
And summer twirls
And your flights of fancy
There are no songs, are no songs in a heavenly stare
Are no answers, are no answers in the lady's prayer
But you do what you can do if you can do when and where

Tatchell and the Tambourine England, UK

We don't listen to music anymore, we listen to song.
Don't go anymore,
Except where we belong.
But I know a Gym
Called Whisky and Gin
A full deck only
The Big man 'll
Let you in
There is no end
Or place to begin
Or even win
Only a whole glass
Half full of Slim
And a friendly soul
Who no doubt you'll
Know not at all
But let's call him Jim
For he wears a grin. ... more
