Artist/Band: Phil Ochs
Lyrics for Song: William Butler Yeats Visits Lincoln Park And Escapes Unscathed
Lyrics for Album: 20th Century Masters: Best Of Phil Ochs [2003]



As I went out one evening to take the evening air


F G C F


I was blessed by a blood-red moon


Dm G Am G


In Lincoln Park the dark was turning


I spied a fair young maiden and a flame was in her eyes


And on her face lay the steel blue skies


Of Lincoln Park, the dark was turning


Turning





They spread their sheets upon the ground just like a wandering tribe


And the wise men walked in their Robespierre robes


Through Lincoln Park the dark was turning


The towers trapped and trembling, and the boats were tossed about


When the fog rolled in and the gas rolled out


From Lincoln Park the dark was turning


Turning





Like wild horses freed at last we took the streets of wine


But I searched in vain for she stayed behind


In Lincoln Park the dark was turning


I'll go back to the city where I can be alone


And tell my friend she lies in stone


In Lincoln Park the dark was turning
