Lyrics
A musette, fiddle, and a flute A hurdy-gurdy player who seems blinded A fine bunch, yes, I love them all Yet there's a reminder of what is missing A candle flame, a twist of smoke A hand illuminated from behind So that it glows within Skull, cook, robe
What's wrong, George? It's impossible Without translucent page and opacity To shield a lantern's fire complete And drive it deep into tenebrosity The night, the night, where is the night? The long dark night of neglect The hidden and the manifest light
I'm out of my head! Where is the hand? When is the mind Body and flame
