[The Incredible String Band - The Half-Remarkable Question lyrics]
Who moved the black castle
Who moved the white queen
When Gimel and Daleth were standing between?
Out of the evening growing a veil
Pining for the pine woods that
Ached for the sail
There's something forgotten I want
You to know
The freckles of rain they are telling me so
Oh, it's the old forgotten question
What is it that we are part of?
And what is it that we are?
And an elephant madness has covered the sun
The judge and the juries they
Play for the fun
They've torn up the roses and
Washed all the soap
And the martyr who marries
Them dares not elope
Oh, it's the never realized question
What is it that we are part of?
And what is it that we are?
Oh long, oh long ever yet my eyes
Braved the gates enormous fire
And the body folded 'round me
And the person in me grew
The flower and it's petal
The root and it's grasp
The earth and it's bigness
The breath and it's gasp
The mind and it's motion
The foot and it's move
The life and it's pattern
The heart and it's love
Oh, it's the half-remarkable question
What is it that we are part of?
And what is it that we are?
Who moved the white queen
When Gimel and Daleth were standing between?
Out of the evening growing a veil
Pining for the pine woods that
Ached for the sail
There's something forgotten I want
You to know
The freckles of rain they are telling me so
Oh, it's the old forgotten question
What is it that we are part of?
And what is it that we are?
And an elephant madness has covered the sun
The judge and the juries they
Play for the fun
They've torn up the roses and
Washed all the soap
And the martyr who marries
Them dares not elope
Oh, it's the never realized question
What is it that we are part of?
And what is it that we are?
Oh long, oh long ever yet my eyes
Braved the gates enormous fire
And the body folded 'round me
And the person in me grew
The flower and it's petal
The root and it's grasp
The earth and it's bigness
The breath and it's gasp
The mind and it's motion
The foot and it's move
The life and it's pattern
The heart and it's love
Oh, it's the half-remarkable question
What is it that we are part of?
And what is it that we are?
