Minstrel of the Dawn 歌詞

The minstrel of the dawn is here

To make you laugh and bend your ear

Up the steps you'll hear him climb

All full of thoughts all full of rhymes

Listen to the pictures flow

Across the room into your mind they go

Listen to the strings

They jangle and dangle

While the old guitar rings

The minstrel of the dawn is he

Not too wise but oh so free

He'll talk of life out on the street

He'll play it sad and say it sweet

Look into his shining face

Of lonelines you'll always find a trace

Just like me and you

He's tryin' to get into things

More happy than blue

 

A minstrel of the changin' tide

He'll ask for nothing but his pride

Just sit him down upon that chair

Go fetch some wine and set it there

Listen to the pictures flow

Across the room into your where they go

Listen to the strings

They jangle and dangle

While the old guitar rings

A minstrel of the dawn is near

Just like a step 'n fetchit here

He's like an old time troubador

Just wanting life and nothing more

Look into his shining eyes

And if you see a ghost don't be surprised

Like me and you

He's tryin' to get into things

More happy than blue

The minstrel boy will understand

 

He holds a promise in his hand

He talks of better days ahead

And by his words your fortune's read

Listen to the pictures flow

Across the room into your mind they go

Listen to the strings

They jangle and dangle

While the old guitar rings

The minstrel of the dawn is gone

I hope he'll call before too long

And if you meet him you must be

The victim of his minstrelsy

He'll sing for you a song

 

The minstrel of the dawn
