All This And More
Procol Harum
All This And More
Verse 1:
It's not that I'm so cheerful
Though I'll always raise a smile
If at times my nonsense rhymes
Then I'll stand trial
My friends are all around me
But they only breathe through fear
Were I to cry I'm sure that still
They'd never see a tear
Chorus:
In darkness through my being here
Away from you
The bright light of your star confronts me
Shining through
[3: to coda]
Verse 2:
Dullen, sullen, much subdued
My skull a stony glaze
Whirlpools rage on constantly
I'm not so well these days
There must be something somewhere near
Who sees what's being done
The harbor lights are burning bright
My wax is almost run
Repeat chorus
Verse 3:
Come Lollard, raise your lute and sing
Unto my ears a beauty bring
Like Maddox in the days of old
We'll feast and drink until we fold
And folding still we'll spare a thought
For what's been lost and what's been caught
And maybe then begin again
For love is life, not poison
Repeat chorus
Oh, shining through
Keep shining through
