Of uncertainty, I want to be In the warm hold of your loving mind To feel you all around me And to take your hand along the sand Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind When sundown pales the sky I want to hide a while behind your smile And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find For me to love you now Would be the sweetest thing 'twould make me sing Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Di di di di, di di di di Di di di di, di di di di Di di di When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near to kill my fears To help me to leave all my blues behind For standin' in your heart Is where I want to be and long to be Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind |

On a wagon, bound for market
There's a calf with a mournful eye High above him, there's a swallow Winging swiftly through the sky How the winds are laughing They laugh with all their might Laugh and laugh the whole day through And half the summer's night Donna donna' Stop complaining, said the farmer Who told you a calf to be? Why don't you have wings to fly with Like the swallow so proud and free Calves are easily bound and slaughtered Never knowing the reason why But whoever treasures freedom Like the swallow has learned to fly |

From the album best of donovan ii
I had a dream as daylight touched the sky As breezes chased along the winter lane. I had a dream as dreams alone I dreamt Has every man his chain, Has every man his chain ? A negro hid beneath a face of blood And is there really anyone to blame ? I marveled at the beauty of children's minds. Has every man his chain, Has every man his chain ? I saw a beach of sand beside the sea And there before me I saw every grain And I wondered, well, it was best this way Every man has his chain, Every man has his chain. |

Josie,I wont fail ya,
I wont fail you have no fear, Josie,I wont fail ya, Give me one more chance to be as near. The meadows they are bursting the yellow corn is in your hands, and with the night comes sorrow as the tide of dawn slips on the land. The long breezes are blowing all down the sky into my face, Ive a worried kind of feelin that my time has come and gone to waste. I love you darling Josie, the trees of pine they grow so tall, how can you come to love me when you didnt love me at all. Josie,I wont fail ya, I wont fail you have no fear, Josie I wont fail ya Give me one more chance to be as near. My Josie looks a child now as she lies beyond my breast, in the night I think about her in the day I get no rest. I cut me a young pine cone And gave it to the river deep, It sailed way by your window where you lay so long in sleep. God bless you darling Josie with your sparkling eyes so bright and clear, Josie,I wont fail you have no fear, Josie,I wont fail ya Give me one more chance to be as near. |

Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ? There's just as many geese and they're flyin' down South As there are lies just pouring out of your mouth. Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ? You say that you're young, girl, I guess that's your big excuse But sometimes I get so low down I wanna shout out, What's the use ?! When you've been a lovin' someone else you don't try to hide You take me for a fool then you take me for a ride. Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ? Ah, you seen my face, gal, with the tears all down my mouth. You came up, you held my hand, gal, you don't know what it's all about. I seen you goin' out, there was nothin' I could say, I hung around your house till the very break of day, Then you came a-laughing down the bright highway. Now, why do you treat me like you do ? My mornings, they're all empty now, my evenings, they're just the same, Now maybe I been thinkin' wrong about you, gal, and you ain't really the one to blame. Keep on lovin' someone else, now don't you try to hide, You can take me for a fool if it keeps you satisfied, 'Cause I ain't gonna be the one to ask the reason Why do you treat me like you do. |

Been a-lookin' for a good girl,
But it's taking time. A-been a-lookin' for a good girl, A-one to please my mind as well as my time. I've been singing in the evening, Flying through the night. But I hurt my good gal, I hope she makes out right, Flying through the night. I've been picking up the sunshine, I've been drinking down the rain, girl, I've been picking up the sunshine, it makes me think on when I'll see you again. You know time could bring a change, girl, It ain't for me to say. You'll soon be out of range, girl, A-this could only be the way it's meant to be. Fairy castle stark and black in the moonlight, The jingle jangle jester rides his stallion Seagull flies across my eyes forever. Sadly goes the wind on its way to Hades. Would I, should I, could I be a stranger, I shall walk right by and sigh goodbye. Lucifer calls his legions from the hillside. Sadly goes the wind on its way to Hades. I've been lookin', oh yeah, I say I've been lookin' far a good girl, You better believe it, baby, yeah! Yes, I've been lookin' for a good gal, oh yeah!

Here I stand acting like a silly clown would,
I don't know why Would anybody like to try The changes I'm going through ? A hidden lie would fortify Something that don't exist But it ain't so bad, I'm just a lad, So many more things to do, I intend to come right through them all with you. My songs are merely dreams visiting my mind We talk a while by a crooked stile, You're lucky to catch a few. There's no magic wand in a perfumed hand, It's a pleasure to be true. In my crystal halls a feather falls Being beautiful just for you But that might not be quite true, that's up to you. Dawn crept in unseen to find me still awake A strange young girl sang her songs for me And left 'fore the day was born. That dark princess with saddening jest She lowered her eyes of woe, And I felt her sigh, I wouldn't like to try The changes she's going through But I hope love comes right through them all with you |

Walking in the seashore twilight,
It's then you spy carnival lights, You slowly near the magic sight, Tangerine sky minus one kite. Take time an' tie your pretty hair The gypsy driver doesn't care If you catch your hair in the ferris wheel on top, In the ferris wheel on top. A silver bicycle you shall ride, To bathe your mind in the quiet tide. Far off as it seems your hair will mend With a Samson's strength to begin again. Take time an' dry your pretty eyes, Watch the seagull fly far-off skies To build its nest in the ferris wheel on top, In the ferris wheel on top. If ever I reach her. And the moral here, if any, my friend: Follow through your dream to the end. Dig the seagull fly across the sky To build its nest in the ferris wheel, In the ferris wheel |

Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur
Draped in white velvet, silk and lace. The rustle of her gown on the marble staircase, Sparkles on fingers, slender and pale. The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain. Maroon-coloured wine from the vineyards of Charlemagne Is sipped by the queen's lips and so gently Indigo eyes in the flickering candlelight, Such is the silence o'er royal Camelot. The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain. Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur Draped in white velvet, silk and lace.

I will bring you gold apples and grapes made of rubies
That have shone in the eyes of a prince of the breeze. Bright cascading crystals, they danced in the sand dunes On the beach of no footprints to harpsichord tunes. A throne of white ivory, a gown of white lace Lies still in the magic of a timeless place. One hundred small children, they laugh at the white doves That rest on their hands with the touch of love. On a hillside of velvet the children they lay down And make fun of the grown-ups with their silly frown. And the sound of their laughter is the sound of the green sea As it washed around the foot of the seashell tree. The doves circle over and land in the trees Where parrots are talking their words with such ease. Thus spoke three wizards to the young ones that day: "There's sadness in the kingdom, make it go far away." If you follow the sunbeams through the valley of flowers To the palace of the White Queen with its white jade towers. The youngest, she sighed then the clouds drew away And a hundred small fingers scratched their heads in dismay. >From out of the sun a giant gull came flying And the children got ready to sit on its wings. They waved to the raindrops as they soared over the trees The wind tossed their hair high, flashing gold on the sea. They came to the castle and there they did fall, And they saw all the sadness, through the crystal wall. A princess lay a-sleeping so gentle and kind Whilst her prince took to battle with his confused mind. The clash of bright metal brought the children fear, But their cloaks of blue satin dried up all of these tears. Thus children held hands and they spelled out their name All the golden children became a golden chain. It lies on a white throne in a magic place With a tunic of velvet and a gown of white lace. My sword, it lies broken and cast in a lake In a dream I was told that my princess would wake |

We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown L.A.,
About a-midnight hour And it almost b-b-blew my mind, I got caught in a coloured shower. All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset, I saw a sign in the sky It said, "T-t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip," I couldn't keep up up if I tried. Ah, we stepped down to reality company To get some instant sleep And the driver turned, I said, "Welcome back" He smiled and he said, "Beep beep". What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. What goes on all around me, What goes on ? I really wanna know. When in should come-a my dream woman, She got sequins in her hair, Like she stepped out off of a Fellini film, She sat in a white straw chair But I thought I'd take a second look Just to see what I could see And my scene had popped out like a bubble does, There was nobody there but me. I said, "Girl, you drank a lot of drink-me, But you ain't in a Wonderland You know I might-a be there to greet you, child, When your trippin' ship touches sand." What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. A silver goblet of wine is-a to be Held in a bejewelled glove And her knights they toast the tournament, The falcons they fly above. And the queen will a drink of the dew tonight But the jester she cries alone, Because Merlin he spoke of an instant spell To make the devil's white knights moan And-a all in all, the seagull said, "As I look to where I've been, The whole wide human race Has a-taken far too much Methedrine". What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. What goes on ? So near What goes on ? I really wanna know. Yeah well, come on. We sat in a velvet jewel case With sparkles everywhere, And Julian he sat on a diamond ring And-a talked of the days gone by. We spoke of a common kaleidoscope And the pros and the cons of Zen And he spoke and-a said for a piece of cake He really did have a yen. Bobby Dylan he sat "the Mad Hatter", A broken hour glass in his hand, And-a Joannie sat in a white lace Looking cool with a black lace fan. What goes on ? Chick-a-chick. What goes on ? I really wanna know. What goes on ? Yes please tell me. What goes on ? I really wanna know |

In a Marie-Antoinette room We were introduced soon, I was me and you were you, How do you do ? Raggedy and tousle-haired He looked as though he never cared To run a comb where a comb should run, Freckles from the sun. Many good times we have had, We been happy, we been sad, But I think we both feel glad That this life is so mad, mad, mad.

In Tangier down a windy street Where beggars meet and on old rags do sleep The women dressed in soiled white sheet With starving kids by their side. With staring eyes that never weep Old Moroccans with their elephantiasis feet Who life and death treat so cheap Happy in their hunger For they live longer than their fathers.

she found an angel. Goo goo, Barabajagal was his name now, He very wise in the herbal lore 's got young cure now. She came, she came to free the pain with his wild flower. Goo goo, Barabajagal was his name now, Fine fine, fine fine Acelandine be prepared for her. Tea tea, tea tea to make her free while incense burned. In love pool eyes float feathers after the struggle. The hopes burst and shot joy all through the mind Sorrow more distant than a star. Multi colour run down over your body, Then the liquid passing all into all Love is hot truth is molten. True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked. He filled, he filled a leather cup, holding her gaze She took, she took a little sip while this song he sang Goo goo, Barabajagal was my name now, |

I realize I'm to be My own surprise This is the season of farewell And I've finally broken the spell This is the season of farewell And I want you to know Before you go... Consequently I'm very pleased I used to be Very cheesed This is the season of farewell And I've finally broken the spell This is the season of farewell And I want you to know Before you go... Mystery, sorcery, and guile Used to be What made me the lonely one But now I'll be the only one to plea This is the season of farewell And I've finally broken the spell This is the season of farewell And I want you to know Before you go... |

You're my singer
Lemme be your song Celestial bodies They get along And I just want to sing along You're my single Lemme be your chart If you never make the hit parade You're number one in my heart As long as I can play a part Vegetarian by choice Not by fashion It's not so much what you eat As what you balance on And watch me balance on Instrumental passage here We're playin' it now But you are not among us here To play like you know how Beg us to allow You're my singer Lemme be your song No matter what you want to do Let me pick along I just want to sing along Country ladies Take us by the hand Soft eyed and cotton clothed Through Parrish meadowland And John and I can be the band |

For every boy there is a girl, For every dream there is a real world. For every lip there is a kiss, For every cheek there is a caress. Take off those clothes, They're strangling you, Let out your human song. Take off those clothes, They're suffocating me, My body wants to sing along. My body wants to sing! For every up there is a down, For every smile there is a sad frown. For every lip there is a kiss, For every cheek there is a caress. Shake off those thoughts, They're strangling you, Let out your human song. Shake off those thoughts, They're suffocating me, My body wants to sing along. To lie at rest upon your bosom, Tongue still taste thy maiden musk. To lie within your woman's warm Upon your rising falling form. Rising falling form Rising falling form Rising falling form For every boy there is a girl, For every dream there is a real world. For every lip there is a kiss, For every cheek there is a caress. For every boy there is a girl, For every dream there is a real world. For every lip there is a kiss, For every cheek there is a caress.

Make a song, song maker
Sing of love, sweet love. Do not make it a shaker, Make it move from above. Sing it strong and gentle, Sing it sweet and low. Let the words be simple So that all may know The dignity of man, Sing of the dignity of man, Sing of the dignity of man. Sing of proud black brother, Sing of pale-faced son. Sing of the joys of a mother, She's the mother of everyone. You got red blood rivers Rushing through your veins. You got hearts that quiver Full of love's sweet pain. Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man. Make a dream, dream weaver, Full of hope and praise. Sing of the joyful, Sing of the joyful sadness Of this human play. Oh, gather all men's wishes, Show them to be one. Sing of God's great glory For the humbled hearted one. Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man Sing of the dignity of man... |

Seek ye the mystery through all this energy
To set your soul bird free from deathless delight. There are so many ways, forms upon which to gaze, Live in a divine daze of deathless delight, Deathless delight, deathless delight. There may be so many, many pains, Till of old the golden goal you gain. Out on the lonely road you began long ago, No other way to show deathless delight, Deathless delight, deathless delight. Deathless delight Deathless delight Deathless delight. I have had some tingles in my time, Never dreaming them to be a sign, be a sign. Out on the lonely road living a warrior's code, Everywhere thine abode of deathless delight, Deathless delight, deathless delight |

Looking for a place with a real lazy pace, Lay right back, simply rest my mind. Living in a grass hut, swinging in a hammock, In some sleepy cove forgotten by time. I'll be the boy who sings songs sometimes, Swim, sit in the sun and easy dream a while. Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow, It don't really matter if it never comes at all. Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow, It don't really matter if it never comes at all. I don't want to be rushed and pushed and crushed and mushed.

Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow, It don't really matter if it never comes at all. She is looking for a tan with a real sensitive man, Burn her bra, simply rest her jeans. Just let the kids run around with their ass hanging out, Barefoot like they do in her dreams. She'll be the girl who slinks along the beach, Swim, sit in the sun and easy dream a while. Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow, It don't really matter if it never comes at all. Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow, It don't really matter if it never comes at all.

La la la la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la It's not easy when your life has broken down To find solace in a world of pain. It's not easy to pick up your broken heart And start all over again. It's not easy to be strong and carry on When the light in your life has died. It's not easy when the one and only one Has left you in the dark to cry. But life goes on and on, you know, Just like a river flow. If love may come and go, you know, Your love may one day show. It's not easy for to sleep alone at night, You keep searching for the shape you knew. It's not easy to wake up and realise The big bad dream is true. It's not easy to believe a day will come When another one will cherish you. It's not easy to be a cool and act unhurt When the pain hits you through and through. But life goes on and on, you know, Just like a river flow. If love may come and go, you know, Your love may one day show.

Beneath the weight of the world I can be found
Among the chaos and the wheel, scattered all around. On the wild windy wave I'm tossed, cast away and lost, Now I understand what those sad songs say. Make up your mind to be happy, Life is a merry-go-round. If you miss out this time, Don't let it fret your mind, Love will come round in the end. Make up your mind to be happy, Life is a merry-go-round. If an' you miss out this time, Don't let it fret your mind, Love will come round in the end. Between the devil and the deep blue we find ourselves often Out of the frying pan and into, left on the shelf. Borne willy nilly here and there when our hearts are full of care, Oh my, now we understand what those sad songs say, Sad, sad songs they say. Make up your mind to be happy, Life is a merry-go-round. If an' you miss out this time, Don't let it fret your mind, Love will come round in the end. Makin' up your mind to be happy You've gotta make up your mind Makin' up your mind Makin' up your mind Makin' up your mind Makin' up your mind ... Make up your mind to be happy |

There is an ocean of vast proportion
And she flows within ourselves. To take dips daily we dive in gaily, He knows who goes within himself. The abode of Angels, the mystical Promised Land, The one and only Heaven, the God of man Is but the closing of an eyelid away. There is a silence of pure excellence And she flows within ourselves. To appreciate, re-deactivate, He knows who goes within himself. The domain of Devils, the Fearful Land, The only and only Hades, the Satan of man Is but the closing of an eyelid away. All is as it was and ever more shall be, Though they try to tell us it's not so. Over all the earth there's nothing new to see, Excepting every seed will newly grow. Innocence in childhood false men misconstrue To be years of darkness spent in shade, Denying childhood's vision of the God of Love, So that Truth be turned about and untruth made, And untruth made. There is a reason for every season Of change within ourselves. To navigate, re-appreciate And know the flow within ourselves. The deliverance from Deluge, the good dry land, The one and only Haven, the rock of Man Is but the closing of an eyelid away. There is a season, ooh, There is an ocean, ooh, There is a silence, ooh. |

There have been some good one And many people died And many nations cried And many babies came As many died again Yet always Man prevailed Yeah though the Devil wailed You know we're way out there In some galaxy hair With all this space around We fight to keep our share. With all our cruelty And all our jealousy We find it hard to give To just live and let live To live and let live It's all in the Dance of Life my friend It's all in the Song that never ends It's all in the Dance of Life my friend Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star We think that we're so big The truth we never, never twig And if some Quasar gonna blow I guess we'd never, never know And long before that day When we are burned away Let us take time to smile And swing a little while Just a little while. There have been many, many words And just as many, many turds It's all a kind of dream And not quite what it seems But when the talking's done This Life of Death we're gonna shun And turn our heart to Him Hail' S'lassi' Whose Light will never, never dim Whoa, oh, oh, It's all in the Dance of Life my friend It's all in the Song that never ends It's all in the Dance of Life my friends Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star Following that Yellow Star. |

Gaily bedight, a gallant knight In sunshine and in shadow All journey long, singing a song In search of Eldorado. But he grew old this knight so bold And o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found no spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. Over the mountains of the moon Down the valley of the shadow Ride boldly ride, the shade replied If you seek for Eldorado. And as his strength failed him at length He met a pilgrim shadow 'Shadow' - said he - 'Where can it be' 'This land of Eldorado ?' Over the mountains of the moon Down the valley of the shadow Ride boldly ride, the shade replied If you seek for Eldorado. |

One day a funny kind of man
Came walking down this street He wore a shoe upon his head And hats upon his feet, He raised the shoe and smiled at me His manners were polite But never had I seen before such a funny sounding sight He said : ≪A Allow me to present Your highness with a roseA ≫ An taking out a current bun He held it ti his nose Staggered back against the wall And the I answered : ≪A well, I never saw a rose with such A funny looking smellA ≫. He the began to sing a song Mmmmmm......................... and sat down on the ground You never heard in all yollur life Such a funny feeling sound ≪A My friend, why do you wear 2 hats upon your feet?A ≫ I said He turned the other way about And hopped on his head.

Can ye dance with silver moonsteps on the love couch of the sand ? I will sing and play a fairy reel upon a swany lute A tale of silver sandals or an elf who loved to fish For the twinkles in the evening waves with an oaken dish. As ye skip and spin and reel, can ye loose thy velvet band ? And send thy mane a-tossing to the kissing of the moon ? And as ye bid me enter, thine eyes will open love To the allness of the smallness and the starry sky above. Oh pa ti to cum dee ... As ye skip and spin and reel, can ye loose thy velvet band ?

Should you wander this land to the North, And few seldom do, Should you follow the song of the gull To enchanted western isles, Coax a fisherman to take you out Where the silky seals are seen, Hear the stories that they tell about The maiden who is their queen, The maiden who is their queen. Celia of the seals, She knows just how they feel, Celia of the seals. "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" Seal hunters are not brave and bold, They murder her poor wee seals And cut off their skins to be sold, Cursed be he who deals. There's no reason for this slaughtering, They're left on the rocks to bleed He's not a man who does this thing, It's a cruel and a heartless deed, A cruel and a-heartless deed. Celia of the seals, She knows just how they feel, Celia of the seals. Celia of the seals, Celia of the seals, She knows just how they feel, Celia of the seals, Celia of the seals, Celia of the seals, "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" "Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay" |

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. 'Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!' He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. 'And has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Calloh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. |

We're sailing away to the sleepy lagoon By the light of the stars, by the shine of the moon And mermaids are singing a sweet lullaby And kissing the babies as they sail by. La Moora, La Moora, soft as a sigh Kissing the babies as they sail by La Moora, La Moora, soft as a sigh Kissing the babies as they sail by.

Ooohh, la la la la Kissing the babies as they sail by La Moora, La Moora, soft as a sigh Kissing the babies as they sail by. |

Rain on a window, kettle on a stove Where is little Ben ? In the Rowan grove. Tide on the turning, Davey on the sea Where is little Ben ? He's with me. My name is Gwindle, in scarlet livery I'm the Rowan fairy who dwells in these trees Little Ben is with me. |

I danced in the morning when the world was begun
I danced in the Moon, and the stars, and the Sun I came down from Heaven and I danced on Earth At Bethlehem I had my birth. Dance then, wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! I danced for the scribe and the pharisee They would not dance, they wouldn't follow me So I danced for the fishermen James and John They come with me and the Dance went on: Dance then, wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! I danced on the Sabbath and cured the lame The holy people, they said it was a shame! They whipped and stripped and then hung me high Left me there on a cross to die! Dance then, wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black It's hard to dance with the devil on your back They buried my body and they thought I'd gone But I am the Dance and I still go on! Dance then, wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! They cut me down but I leap up high I am the Life that will never never die! I live in you if you live in Me I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! Dance then, wherever you may be For I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! Dance then, wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! Dance then, wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! |
