The Incredible String Band - Douglas Traherne Harding lyrics
When I was born I had no head My eye was single and my body was filled with light And the light that I was, was the light that I saw by And the light that I saw by, was the light that I was And many's the time that I've passed by the river And saw no tollman and needed no ferryman to cross And I enjoyed the world aright For the sea itself floweth And warm I was and crowned. But one day walking by the river I met a tollman with an angry face And many's the time I passed through his tollgate And paid no silver and paid no fee But rather I did hide my sheep and goats under the bags of oatmeal And cold I was, no crown did I wear But if you're walking down the street Why don't you look down to the basement And sitting very quietly there is a man who has no head His eye is single and his whole body also is filled with light And the streets are his and all the people And even the temples and the whole world And many's the time he walks to the river And seeing the ferryman and seeing the tollman The light within him leaps to greet them For he sees that their faces are none but his own One light, the light that is one thought the lamps be many You never enjoy the world aright "Till the sea itself floweth In your vein and you are clothed With the heavens and crowned with the stars" |
