The Incredible String Band - Down Before Cathay lyrics
Through red forests that lean against the hills I wandered with my heart in my hand My cloak wound down to the shores of Cathay Where the gold lay scattered on the sand Night was young back before the dawn Casting kisses at the day Shipping the sea bestriding the earth Down before Cathay. The admirable deeds of Khubla Khan we admired from the deck Of our cedarwood ship Observing the domes that prance from Mandalay Where the dogs they sleep all the day We gazed upon the Towers of Tyre That rose coarse and spicey in the air But we sailed up the coast to sidon Where the gazes are so rare Where the gazes are so rare The ship shone its lamp across the silent air That swirled before Cathay And there on the sand that courts the amber sea Our fair bodies we cast away Night was young back before the dawn Casting kisses at the day Sipping the sea bestriing the earth Down before Cathay. |
