Say no word
She watched as she waited
By the iron gate
Veiled in black brocade
Tom was all-alone,

"All the World's a stage,"
A friend of mine, he sometimes said,
And though he tried to show the way,
They only care about his name.

"Rest you head my love;
Rest your tired limbs;
Leave your mind at peace, at peace, at peace,
What are you thinking now?"

Hear, a West Wind calling,
I hear it calling my name,
Snow, on Greenland falling,
The ice is melting away.

Where we are, it's cold and lonely
There we are, oh God if only
Either one of us would go away
Where we are, is next to nowhere

She takes the morning air
She take the utmost care
She's very good

Find a way to distinguish patterns
In the thread of the living.
Pick a path through the rough and tumble
Look within without misgiving.

Flashing meteors follow
comets climb in startling numbers,
and the saucers slip by upon the Milky Way.

but none so great as spurning your love.
For how sweet, how sweet your love would be
As fierce as fire, as tender as dew.

There was once a man he met
Who walked in fields of silk and burr, so light
And then the darkness came upon me
I woke, I could not see her face

August saw a contest fit for Kings
From far and wide they came to trade their swings
Little grubs with stone-age clubs and tanners' sons
With foxes' gloves
They came face to face the stiffest coarse since Tring
Harold took an eight-iron at the first
Hopped the hedge while Tostig chipped and cursed
Sliced into a sticky patch and, playing out, he'd met his match

Look, see how the day goes on.

Me, it won't stop to help you.

Four thousand monks in a maelstrom
All crying out for release.
Three cheers for old Mother Hailsham
She's sticking to her beliefs.
