All this & more lyrics

Artist  : Procol harum 
Song : All this & more
 
(brooker / reid)

It’s not that I’m so cheerful, though I’ll always
raise a smile
And if at times my nonsense rhymes then I’ll
stand trial
My friends are all around me but they only
breathe through fear
Were I to cry, I’m sure that still they’d never
see a tear


In darkness through my being here, away from you
The bright light of your star confronts me
shining through
Dull and sullen, much subdued, my skull a stony
glaze
Whirlpools rage on constantly, I’m not so well
these days
There must be something somewhere near who sees
what’s being done
The harbour lights are burning bright, my wax is
almost run


In darkness through my being here, away from you
The bright light of your star confronts me,
shining through
Come lollard, raise your lute and sing, and to my
ears her beauty bring
Like maddox in the days of old we’ll feast and
drink until we fold
And folding still we’ll spare a thought for
what’s been lost and what’s been caught
And maybe then begin again for love is life, not
poison


In darkness through my being here, away from you
The bright light of your star confronts me,
shining through
