The Incredible String Band - Fair as You (I Looked Up) lyrics
[The Incredible String Band - Fair as You I Looked Up lyrics]
My fairest love I live and
Learn the songs that ring true
My songs whose message is plain
Whose words are few
Whose melodies smell of the pines
Love dwells between the lines
Cast upon the air to fly when words won't do
The sun he sings a song for every day a new
But even he can’t give to me
A song as fair as you
In forest moist at break of day
When wonder fills the air
I thought to pluck at break of dawn
A melody so fair whose gracious form
Can match your own
Your soul blessed in every turn
Coloured by the rainbow's pen
In tints so rare
The sun he sings a song so fine
For every day a new
But even he can’t give to me
A song as fair as you
Learn the songs that ring true
My songs whose message is plain
Whose words are few
Whose melodies smell of the pines
Love dwells between the lines
Cast upon the air to fly when words won't do
The sun he sings a song for every day a new
But even he can’t give to me
A song as fair as you
In forest moist at break of day
When wonder fills the air
I thought to pluck at break of dawn
A melody so fair whose gracious form
Can match your own
Your soul blessed in every turn
Coloured by the rainbow's pen
In tints so rare
The sun he sings a song so fine
For every day a new
But even he can’t give to me
A song as fair as you
