Syd Barrett - Swan Lee (Silas Lang) lyrics
[Syd Barrett - Swan Lee Silas Lang lyrics]
Headed from the fire to his waiting canoe
Chattering Squaw untied the wigwam door
The chief blew smoke rings two by two!
The land in silence stands
Swan Lee
His boat by the bank in the darkness
Loosened the rope in the creek is entwined
A feather from the wing of a wild young eagle
Pointed to the land where
His fortune he'd find
The land in silence stands
Swan Lee paddled on from the
Land of his fathers
His eyes scanned the undergrowth
On either side
From the shore hung a hot, heavy
Creature infested
Tropic, Swan Lee had a bow by his side
The land in silence stands
Swan Lee kept time, half on land
Half on water
Grizzly bear and raccoon his fare
He followed his ears to the great waterfall
For Swan Lee knew deep down
That his squaw was there!
The land in silence stands
Suddenly the rush of the mighty great thunder
Confronted Swan Lee as his song he sang
In the dawn, with his squaw
He was paddling homewards
It was all written down by Long Silas Lang
The land in silence stands
The land in silence stands
The land in silence stands
