See the gambler make a stand
Holds a lifetime in his hand
Win the game or lose control
But the world goes on forever
Life’s a circle, I recall
Shadows played upon the wall
You pay the piper to call the tune
And the song goes on forever
And when all the words have gone
There’s the thought to carry on
Just like a bird that sings
Leave it all behind and spread your wings
You can leave it all behind — spread your wings
Lay me down
Saw the road move on before me
Times when I was tired and lost my way
Looking at life and strangely for the first time
Thinking that I could stay here
But the world moves on forever
And when all the words have gone
There’s the thought to carry on
Just like a bird that sings
Leave it all behind and spread your wings
You can leave it all behind — spread your wings
thanks for posting i think ocoberon was the last very good lp of the band.from bjh 1970 until this the band was fantastic by my oppinion.cheers from greece
L’assurdo regna qui, come altrove regnava.Qui, come là, spettri deformi in giro,Gente insulsa e infanti anche più insulsi!Qui come altrove, come da per tutto,Un ballo mascherato che mette i sensi tutti in iscompiglio.Le grinfie ho pur protese verso un corteo di larve lusinghevoli!E fra le braccia strinsi esseri tali da fermarmi solo accaponar la pelle.Un manicomio tal fantasticare non avrei mai potuto.(Absurdity reigns here, as elsewhere reigned.Here, as there, spectra deformed around,People vapid and infants also more silly!Here as elsewhere, as everywhere,A masked ball that puts all the senses in disarray.I leaned toward the clutches while a procession of flattering larvae!And in his arms I shook beings such as to stop only accaponar skin.A madhouse this fantasize I could never have).
My cat crossed the bridge just a few days ago. Now I really feel tired and lost on my way. I feel like all the words have gone and are trying to find a way to carry on. All I want to do is leaving it all behind and spread my wings. Thank you for the words, Les. Much of it describes exactly what I feel at this moment in time.
Possibly the most endearing song ever written in my opinion. I think we can all see ourselves in those lyrics at some point, I am definitely right there right now. Thank god I discovered this band.
Perché continuano a brillare le stelle e le loro fiamme conservano al mondo il suo antico splendore? Venga notte profonda, scompaia dal cielo la luce.(Why continue to shine the stars and their flames retain the world its former glory? Is deep night, disappears from the sky light).
