The Incredible String Band - Three Is A Green Crown lyrics

Not with the lips of skin nor yet with the lips of dark snow

But let the white dove sing

Of the body of life of the lover whose love is complete

Hold hands out to greet ah let not the swan be brought low

For all that is moving is moved by her hands

She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands

In the building of thoughts in the shifting sands

Life life remembering

Well here you are now o now you are here

Well how has it been so far

The hair and the fur

Lemons, frankinscence, and myrhh

For all that is moving is moved by her hands

She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands

In the building of thoughts in the shifting sands

Let the cracked crystal raindrop be merged in the sea

Silent shining thoughtless free

but close your eyes to find the golden flower

And open them to see the sunshine shower

Where the flowers are free and the fishes ask

Ah what can water be

She beareth thought she beareth visions

Speaking truth in contradictions

Dreams of pain dreams of laughter

And every action follows after

O second self o gate of the soft mystery

I'll love you if you'll love me; o guide me

With the gold of gabriel's wing grant me the tongue

That all the earth does sing

Vibrating light forever one the sun

The book of life is open to us

There'll be no secrets left between us
