Men Who Follow Spring The Planet 'Round

Men Who Follow Spring The Planet 'Round - Augie March

"Well met well met" said an old true love

"well met well met" said he

"I have just returned from the salt salt sea

And all for the love of thee "

From pole to pole I've spread my soul

Over sea to august sea

In body bankroll and bedded sin

I've liked to spread it thin

I saw you in the German eye

I caught you in the head

In hearts beset by Winter's debt

I heard you wonder why

O why o why do the tender sigh

At first with the breath of me

Then at my leave remember grief

And clouds to fill the sky

I'll tell you why your majesty

I'll join you in your balcony

Your lofty arboreal grace

And in my hand your crumbling face

It's for they know that

When you go the anger does awake

And the babies that you bred will grow

To armies in your wake

That's why the tender in their few

Do seek to touch the heart of you

And round the planet do oft do sing

To make a final honest ring

For love or lack thereof turn back

All for the love of thee

For love or thereof turn back

All for the love

"Well met well met "

The English said and sailing set for free land

Albeit chained and with a pent up greed they killed a family

And all before your pretty face

Not once or twice or three

Have men been stirred and thick

And furred as beasts and all for thee

All for the love of thee

All for the love of the

All for the love of the
