The Incredible String Band - Douglas Traherne Harding слова песни
When I was born I had no headMy eye was single and my body was filled with lightAnd the light that I was, was the light that I saw byAnd the light that I saw by, was the light that I wasAnd many`s the time that I`ve passed by the riverAnd saw no tollman and needed no ferryman to crossAnd I enjoyed the world arightFor the sea itself flowethAnd warm I was and crowned.But one day walking by the riverI met a tollman with an angry faceAnd many`s the time I passed through his tollgateAnd paid no silver and paid no feeBut rather I did hide my sheep and goats under the bags of oatmealAnd cold I was, no crown did I wearBut if you`re walking down the street Why don`t you look down to the basementAnd sitting very quietly there is a man who has no headHis eye is single and his whole body also is filled with lightAnd the streets are his and all the peopleAnd even the temples and the whole worldAnd many`s the time he walks to the riverAnd seeing the ferryman and seeing the tollmanThe light within him leaps to greet themFor he sees that their faces are none but his ownOne light, the light that is one thought the lamps be manyYou never enjoy the world aright"Till the sea itself flowethIn your vein and you are clothed With the heavens and crowned with the stars"
