Tears And Pavan

Strawbs - Tears And Pavan



Where are the tears

That you should be crying right now

I see the world weariness

In your eyes

I hear your voice

Soft and sad

Yet your laughter rings

Like carillons of bells

In my ears

I feel your heart

Beat like the wings of the wild goose

I smell your love

On me

I can still taste the tears

That you should be crying right now.



Pavan

(Hudson/Ford/Cousins)



And when she lies in need of care and comforting

So as a child's toy she is caressed

And yet when cast adrift upon the changing tide

So as a ship becalmed she lies at rest



Oh darling go to sleep

For the night is young

There are many songs

Yet to be sung

Oh but I will sing them all to you

Before the night is through.
