LISTEN, LEARN, READ ON
In ages past when spells were cast
In a time of men in steel
When a man was taught no special thing
It was all done by feel
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
Hear the song of lovely Joan
Her sound so sweet and clear
In the courtroom of the King
Among children and the peers
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
"Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn,
on the foaming beach of the ocean,
in the day of trouble,
I shall be of more service to thee
than three hundred salmon..."
The hare he bounds across the page
Past castles white and fair
Past dreaming chessmen on their boards
With a fool's mate as a snare
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
"Three times I have been born
I know this from meditation..."
The bird he flies the distance
From pages two to six
Past minstrels in their boxes
To the waters of the Styx
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
Don't take the pictures lightly
Listen to their sound
For from their coloured feeling
Experience is found
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
"All the sciences of the world are collected in my breast,
for I know what has been, what is now,
In ages past when spells were cast
In a time of men in steel
When a man was taught no special thing
It was all done by feel

KENTUCKY WOMAN
Kentucky woman she shines in her own kind of light
She looks at you once and a day what's wrong is alright
And I love her, God knows I love her
Kentucky woman

EXPOSITION (instrumental) / WE CAN WORK IT OUT
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking 'til I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love will soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out
Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight or say goodnight
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
I'll ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While I see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting my friend

So I will ask you once again
I'll ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While I see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
At least we can try

SHIELD
Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream
While her children play in the field
Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life
But how strong is the shield?
Can peace be found on the carpet above ground?
Where sky is forever blue
So let it pass baby now
The slow inviting cloud
Which may take me from you
Many things a man can lose, his health, his rights, his views
But never his heart or his love
So take this hand of mine and climb baby, climb
To the hill up above
Now you can play a queen on that hill built on a dream
While our children play in the field
I can smoke the pipe of a sweet and better life
And trust in the strength of the shield
So trust in your love, and you'll see up above
And let life pass like a wheel
Don't take the chance of life's hectic dance
Kiss the strength of the shield
The seeker will be found by the looker underground
And to his wish ye will yield
Fate will have it's word, of course
But time will change it's course

ANTHEM
When the night winds softly blow
Through my open window
Then I start to remember
The girl that brought me joy
Now the night winds softly blow
Sadness to tomorrow
Bringing tears to eyes so tired
Eyes I thought could cry no more
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow
In my dark and whispering room
Memories still bring me
A numbness to my feelings
Take my hand and brush my brow
In the warm and fevered dark
Heart is madly beating
My crazy thoughts are worrying
When the night winds softly blow
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though you'd soon be gone

RIVER DEEP, MOUNTAIN HIGH
When you were a young girl
Did you have a rag doll, the only doll you've ever owned?

OH NO NO NO
You think by leaving me the sun will go away
You think that if you go there'll be no other way
But your leaving now won't even spoil my day
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
You keep a-waiting for the tears I'm supposed to cry
The promise leaves so I'm supposed to die
I'd forgotten who you were until you dropped on by
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
You think I'm guilty throwing off the likes of you
That there'll be no one else but there'll be quite a few
At least I've got my head but somehow I'll pull through
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no

IT’S ALL OVER
Outside her window
That's where I am every night and every day
But outside her window
I cry, I cried my life away
There's a jukebox a-playin'
A half a block down
Singing I'm going to the river
I'm gonna jump on in and drown
But I ain't gonna do it, no
Just gonna keep on hanging around
Oh it's all over
Oh it's all over
All over
Now, now, now, now
But outside her window
A pretty bird comes to play
And I know, I know I must have cried a teardrop
Because I scared that pretty little thing right on away
When I see two young lovers
Walkin' down the street
It just hits me
When I see their two lips meet
Oh I put my head
Right over where my heart used to be, 'cos
It's all over
Oh don't tell me it's all over
It's all over
IT’S ALL OVER
Outside her window
That's where I am every night and every day
But outside her window
I cry, I cried my life away
There's a jukebox a-playin'
A half a block down
Singing I'm going to the river
I'm gonna jump on in and drown
But I ain't gonna do it, no

Oh it's all over
Oh it's all over
