Misty Mist
Marc Bolan · Other Songs - Marc Bolan
Highways mine the Mountains of the Moon (Moon)
Midnight is a sound singing Cupid's tune (tune)
Only seeing is believing in the Temple of the Sun (Sun)
Where silver swords dug a misty morning sun (sun)
Jump as sunlight skims the sky
Downstairs radiation burns my eyes (eyes)
Darkness is a sound of the morning sun
And the misty mist despoils the morning fun
Farewell lost love, Black-gloved Woman known
To the Prince of Lies, as a metal stone
The friend sees us smile, he smiles to the two
In the misty mist encircles both me and you
Midnight is a sound singing Cupid's tune (tune)
Only seeing is believing in the Temple of the Sun (Sun)
Where silver swords dug a misty morning sun (sun)
Jump as sunlight skims the sky
Downstairs radiation burns my eyes (eyes)
Darkness is a sound of the morning sun
And the misty mist despoils the morning fun
Farewell lost love, Black-gloved Woman known
To the Prince of Lies, as a metal stone
The friend sees us smile, he smiles to the two
In the misty mist encircles both me and you
Misty Mist
Marc Bolan's 'Misty Mist' stands as a quintessential example of his early psychedelic rock output, characterized by its intricate guitar work and dreamy, atmospheric textures. Released during the height of his fame as T. Rex's frontman, the track exemplifies the genre's shift toward more complex compositions and surreal imagery. The song features Bolan's distinctive vocal delivery, blending melodic pop sensibilities with the experimental spirit that would later define his solo career. As part of his broader discography, 'Misty Mist' captures the essence of late 1960s British rock, serving as a bridge between the glam era and the more introspective, avant-garde works Bolan pursued in subsequent years.
