Lyrics The Incredible String Band

The Incredible String Band

Swift As The Wind

For my delight

Swift as the wind flies

His chariot and wings

Shine, shine in the light of a thousand suns

For he comes from the land of no night

He comes from the land of no night

There is no land

The night is all around my child

You must stop imagining all this

You must stop imagining all this

For your own good

Why don't you go with the rest

And play downstairs?

Closing my eyes

I see him so clear

The blood on his sword

Flashes so bright as it

Falls to the skulls by his feet

But his eyes they know all things

Oh, his eyes they know all

There is no blood

No one knows all my child

You must stop imagining all this

You must stop imagining all this

For your own good

Why don't you go with the rest

And play downstairs?

Swift as the wind

Stay if you will now

Seeing you again will be, will be in your castle so fair

But I make take some time on the way

And may spend some time downstairs
