You said you wrote your thoughts all down today And you believe there’s nothing left to say You never did think it would last long anyway And there’s nothing really for you if you stay Each time I talk to you, you seem to wear a frown And it’s really much too early To be travelling down The Book of Changes is your special friend And you’ll believe it to the very end I only wish that it would teach you not to lend Your love, to those who cannot bend I’ll see you the next time that the circle comes around But it’s really much too early To be travelling down And when I laughed you just reminded me Of how I’d always wanted to be free You hand me back my words and ask me what I see But that’s the only way that we know how to be And when some time has filled my mind I’ll look around And I’ll see that it’s too early To be travelling down

Evensong 04:27
There have been some hard and broken times With nothing good to mark their leaving With lips of jade and eyes of burning glass Sensations lost in lonely grieving And finding garret love and serpent dreams The faces nearly all, have gone now And left behind empty scenes You go out in the morning feeling light as air Come out in the evening heavy laden You learn of many things that you had not seen That God is time and time is Satan And watching the wild and shameless dancing of the leaves To join with the earth in the dark reunion That no-one sees You wake in the morning cold and wonder why The smell of love that always lingers And stepping out into the dark thin morning air Feel the rain touch your head with soft cold fingers? And picturing someone else that you could be Until you don't know if you’re falling down Or breaking free.

The Forest and the Shore It's a funny old time that we're living in Half the good people living in sin And the hypocrites they will turn you in Sooner than talk to you Yeah, sooner than talk to you I just don't seem to see things that way Wonder if they tapped my phone today And if you've got anything new to say You'd better hide it You'd better hide it The olden gods have run from the people Paradise is now a house in the city And the spirit of Calvary Has slowly gone Down beneath a tide Of cynics who deride Everything Who deride everything you believe in Everything that you believe in I heard the car doors slam in the night Got up and switched on the light Prepared to give in without a fight If they should find us Yeah, if they should find us Looked down into the street to see my fate Huh, it was just only the neighbours coming home late Funny how you can get yourself in a state From letting it all get you down From letting it all get you down We've come a long way from the forest and the shore Lost our faith and don't know where to turn any more And the spirit of Calvary Has slowly gone Down beneath a tide Of politicians who decide Everything Everything that you, that you believe in Everything that you believe in Everything
