The Incredible String Band - Born In Your Town lyrics

Born in your town on this young morning

oh certainly I have good luck coming

sadly sadly have I mourned making heavy my burden

such toils to entwine me

no more to endure them

A lover is to me she is my companion

six strings at my hand to the morning I tuned them

oh warm room I have and a warm place for sleeping

black coffee to waken me

no more to be dreaming

The wings of the albatross long since I saw him

the hair of the goats as they walk to the island

in the hands of the watchers a page is turned over

and the echoes flow on rippling on

on the face of the river

What would I wish for if wishing were having

in the streets of your town I see nothing worth stealing

for autumn speaks leaves to the lost deeps forever

and the clouds echo on echoing on

on the face of the river
