What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The dust of the rivers does murmur and weep
2
Hard and sharp laughter that cuts to the bone
3
Ah, but ever face within your face does show
4
Going gladly now to give himself his own
5
And twelve yellow willows shall fellow the shallows
6
Small waves and thunder be my pillow
7
Upon the gleaming water two swans that swim
8
And every place shall be my native home
9
The east gate like a fortress dissolve it away
10
The west gate like a prison o come break it down
11
Island I remember living here
12
Wandering beneath the empty skies
13
In time her hair grew long and swept the ground
14
And seven blackbirds carried it out behind
15
It bore the holy imprint of her mind
16
As green-foot slow she moved among the seasons
17
The great man, the great man, historians his memory
18
Artists his senses, thinkers his brain
19
Labourers his growth
20
Explorers his limbs
21
And soldiers his death each second
22
And mystics his rebirth each second
23
Businessmen his nervous system
24
No-hustle men his stomach
25
Astrologers his balance
26
Lovers his loins
27
His skin it is all patchy
28
But soon will reach one glowing hue
29
God is his soul
30
Infinity his goal
31
The mystery his source
32
And civilisation he leaves behind
33
Opinions are his fingernails
34
Maya maya
35
All this world is but a play
36
Be thou the joyful player
37
The wanderer no sense does make
38
His eyes being tied in the true love's knot
39
The trees perceive his soul
40
Do not detain him long
41
Dear little animal dark-eyed and small
42
Caring for your fur with pointed paws
43
This hawk of truth is swift and flies with a still cry
44
A small sweetmeat to the eyes of night
45
O dandelion be thou thine
46
Reflecting the sun in sexual glory
47
In every-changing tongues
48
The every-changing story
49
The book, man, bird, woman, serpent, sea, sun
50
Blessed o blessed are they of the air
51
Your eyes are the eyes
52
Of the glad land
53
Ye twelve that will enter the seasons
54
The great ship, the ship of the world
55
Long time sailing
56
Mariners, mariners, gather your skills
57
Jesus and hitler and richard the lion heart
58
Three kings and moses and queen cleopatra
59
The cobbler, the maiden
60
The mender and the maker
61
The sickener and the twitcher
62
And the glad undertaker
63
The shepherd of willows
64
The harper and the archer
65
All sat down in one boat together
66
Troubled voyage in calm weather
