The Incredible String Band - All Writ Down lyrics

I fully understood

That you'd leave when your ship come by

And l fully understood

You had a purpose more high

Than to give a little schoolboy

To give a little schoolboy his first love

But oh did I cry

And did I cry

For I thought that those days

Would just fade and die

But every cell in my body has it all writ down

Every smile and every frown

And oh those good-time girls

Oh those good-time girls

That book ft sometimes makes me glad

That book ft sometimes makes me sad

But oh - it don't read bad

I cursed you to your face

When you turned to go

But I see now that you did just right

And I bow to you low

For you gave a little schoolboy

You gave a little schoolboy his first love...
