Barclay James Harvest The Capricorn Lyrics

Capricorn Lyrics

Capricorn

 Man of war

 Honour bright

 The long midnight

 In the hour before

 You lose your head

 The thief will paint

 The sunlight red

 Sunlight red

 Deep blue sea

 Witnessed by

 Flocks of ships

 As they sail by

 In a tower of strength

 The sabre frail

 Will take the brig

 And raise the sail

 

 Caged until tame

 Go-between is the name

 Scaring death to the strains of their crying

 Here lies the tale

 Of escapists who sail

 With assassins who kill for the morning

 

 Don't paint the sunlight

 It's virgin bright

 Don't paint the sunlight

 Wait 'til the morning light

 

 Capricorn

 Man of war

 Honour bright

 The long midnight

 In the hour before

 You lose your head

 The thief will paint

 The sunlight red

 Sunlight red

 

 Caged until tame

 Go-between is the name

 Scaring death to the strains of their crying

 Here lies the tale

 Of escapists who sail

 With assassins who kill for the morning

 

 Don't paint the sunlight

 It's virgin bright

 The long midnight

 In the hour before

 You lose your head

 The thief will pain

 The sunlight red
