Roy Harper - Legend lyrics
[Roy Harper - Legend lyrics]
I heard the song birds singing in
The trees above my bed
In the valley of the shadow of
The sea of living dead
I see the same old smells
Aboard my ship of shapelessness
Meandering suspended in
Amorphous tastelessness
I hear the happy people striking
Down their matchless road
The false teeth and the cologne
Partly sharing half the load
I know I cannot ask them so
I leave their eyes to say
I know the way to Mount Street
But I just don't know the way
I see the hollow buildings hanging
In the winter sun
Throwing empty shadows that hide
The hollow men
The world just isn't real it's
Built on endless timeless time
On land marks in the desert
Wastes of multicoloured crime
The maps stuck in the tube trains
Will tell you where're you going
They'll also tell you pratically
Everything worth knowing
So if anybody asks me I'd say
"take a few salt sodas"
If you don't you stand the dirty
Chance of dying stone cold sober
And as I hear you breathing
Life's last distant compliment
I know I can't have said much
Of what I really ment
The sky desolates the sky and
The snowflakes face to face
And everything is just everything
Because everything just is
The trees above my bed
In the valley of the shadow of
The sea of living dead
I see the same old smells
Aboard my ship of shapelessness
Meandering suspended in
Amorphous tastelessness
I hear the happy people striking
Down their matchless road
The false teeth and the cologne
Partly sharing half the load
I know I cannot ask them so
I leave their eyes to say
I know the way to Mount Street
But I just don't know the way
I see the hollow buildings hanging
In the winter sun
Throwing empty shadows that hide
The hollow men
The world just isn't real it's
Built on endless timeless time
On land marks in the desert
Wastes of multicoloured crime
The maps stuck in the tube trains
Will tell you where're you going
They'll also tell you pratically
Everything worth knowing
So if anybody asks me I'd say
"take a few salt sodas"
If you don't you stand the dirty
Chance of dying stone cold sober
And as I hear you breathing
Life's last distant compliment
I know I can't have said much
Of what I really ment
The sky desolates the sky and
The snowflakes face to face
And everything is just everything
Because everything just is
