《Epistle To Derroll(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Epistle To Derroll(LIVE) - Donovan

[00:00:08] Come all you starry starfish living in the deep blue sea

[00:00:21] Crawl to me I have a proposition to make thee

[00:00:28] Would you walk the north sea floor to belgium from england

[00:00:34] Bring me word of a banjo man with a tattoo on his hand

[00:00:44] The spokesman of the starfish spoke as spokesmen should

[00:00:52] If'n you met our fee then certainly we would

[00:00:59] Should you cast a looking glass upon the scalloped sand

[00:01:04] You'll have word word of this banjo man with the tattoo on his hand

[00:01:13] Oh come you starry starfish I know your ways are caped

[00:01:21] Maybe it's because you'r astrologically shaped

[00:01:27] Converse with the herring shoals as I know you can

[00:01:34] Bring me word of the banjo man with the tattoo on his hand

[00:01:43] The eldest of the starfish spoke after a sigh

[00:01:53] Youthful as you are young man you have a wisdom eye

[00:01:59] Surely you must know a looking glass is made from sand

[00:02:06] These young stars are fooling you about your banger man

[00:02:15] Oh come then aged starfish riddle me no more

[00:02:22] For news I am weary and my heart is sore

[00:02:29] All on the silent seashore help me if you can

[00:02:35] Tell to me if you know of the banjo man

[00:02:42] All through the seven oceans I am a star most famed

[00:02:53] Many leggies have I lost an many have I gained

[00:02:59] And strange to say quite recently I've been to flemish land

[00:03:05] And if you are courteous I'll tell you all I can

[00:03:14] Oh you have my full attention I answered him with glee

[00:03:22] His brother stars were twinkling in the sky above the sea

[00:03:28] So I sat there with rapt attention on the sand

[00:03:34] Very anxious for to hear of the banjo man

[00:03:41] Oh I have seen this tattooed hand through a ship's porthole

[00:03:51] Steaming on the watery main through the waves so cold

[00:03:58] Heard his tinkling banjo and his voice so grand

[00:04:05] But you must come to belgium to shake the tattooed hand

[00:04:11] Oh gladly would I come o gladly would I go

[00:04:22] Had I not my work to do and my face to show

[00:04:29] And I rejoice to hear he's well but I must go inland

[00:04:35] Thank you for the words you brought of my banjo man

[00:04:41] I walked along the evening sand as charcoal clouds did shift

[00:04:52] Revealing the moon shining on the pebble drift

[00:04:59] Contemplating every other word the starfish said

[00:05:05] Whistly winds they filled my dreams in my dreaming bed

[00:05:11] Thank you
