Various Artists - Listen, Learn, Read On - Текст песни

In ages past when spells were cast
 In a time of men in steel
 When a man was taught no special thing
 It was all done by feel

 So listen, so learn, so read on
 You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn

 Hear the song of lovely Joan
 Her sound so sweet and clear
 In the courtroom of the King
 Among children and the peers

 So listen, so learn, so read on
 You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn

 "Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn, 
 on the foaming beach of the ocean,
 in the day of trouble, 
 I shall be of more service to thee
 than three hundred salmon..."

 The hare he bounds across the page
 Past castles white and fair
 Past dreaming chessmen on their boards
 With a fool's mate as a snare

 So listen, so learn, so read on
 You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn

 "Three times I have been born
 I know this from meditation..."

 The bird he flies the distance
 From pages two to six
 Past minstrels in their boxes
 To the waters of the Styx

 So listen, so learn, so read on
 You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn

 Don't take the pictures lightly
 Listen to their sound
 For from their coloured feeling
 Experience is found

 So listen, so learn, so read on
 You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn

 "All the sciences of the world are collected in my breast, 
 for I know what has been, what is now, 
 and what hereafter will occur..."
