You who are bent, and bald, and blind
With a heavy heart and a wandering mind
A wandering mind, yeah!
Have known three centuries, poets sing
Of dalliance with a demon thing
Demon thing!
Of dalliance with a demon thing, yeah!
Of dalliance with a demon thing!
Sad to remember, sick with years
The swift innumerable spears
Innumerable spears!
The horsemen with their floating hair
And bowls of barley, honey, and wine
Those merry couples dancing in tune
And the white body that lay by mine
The horsemen with their floating hair
And bowls of barley, honey, and wine
Those merry couples dancing in tune
And the white body that lay by mine
Those merry couples dancing in tune
And the white body that lay by mine
But the tale, though words be lighter than air
Must live to be old like the wandering moon
Those merry couples dancing in tune
And the white body that lay by mine (mine, mine, mine)
But the tale, though words be lighter than air
Must live to be old like the wandering moon
Must live to be old like the wandering moon
Must live to be old like the wandering moon
Must live to be old like the wandering moon
Must live to be old like the wandering moon!
Those merry couples dancing in tune
And the white body that lay by mine
But the tale, though words be lighter than air
Must live to be old like the wandering moon!
Those merry couples dancing in tune
And the white body that lay by mine
But the tale, though words be lighter than air
Must live to be old like the wandering moon!
Must live to be old like the wandering moon!
Must live to be old like the wandering moon!
Must live to be old like the wandering moon!
MUST LIVE TO BE OLD LIKE THE WANDERING MOON!
