The Incredible String Band - Sailor and the Dancer lyrics

Beneath some shaded planet before this earth was born We came together and we danced in the early dawn For my hands contain ten dances that shall bear us into the night Into the sea and the moon's morning light Night mimed a bow and broke into the day Fair sailors and their cautious friends smiled on the sea That reflected all their gazes and danced with the air The breezes filled the sails high against the quay High on the limpid waves the ship it did fly Rising as a condor into the silvery sky Pa**ing through the arches that begin his earth The sailors saw the scenic air as air gave Earth it's birth Gazing ahead towards today They saw the fields of this world They watched the first new dancers As their bodies did unfurl.
