Incredible String Band Dreams Of No Return Lyrics

Dreams Of No Return Lyrics

Dreams of no return

Waking in the early dawn

Dreams of no return

Waking in the early dawn



To whom I sourly yearned in my weakest spell

But what I could not know you could not show me



Old hotel the walls weep and the door leans

The blackbird quits the eaves

And the lonesome spider sings

Saw my sweet and soothing prayer

Was air



Why should you care

I never saw the tomb you they laid

There was already too much shade

What could it bring

What if you know

I need no hand of yours

But still I feel you kiss

While I have words to sing

Perhaps you treasure nothing

From before



In the time I had no friends

I held your picture like a tongueless bell

When I really saw I was wrong

I wrote this song to seem a fond farewell

I've been in the north west world

Looking out on an endless view

When you were any reason why

Was I really any use to you
