Pennywhistle - K's Musical Menagerie

[05:04.0]Just an ordinary day, I knew that autumn was on its way
[05:04.0]I could see by the gilt of the clouds, the burnish on the bay
[05:04.0]A ring of effusia settled on the city like a vision of the future
[05:04.0]Before the scales fell away
[05:04.0]A vision of the future looking more than just okay
[05:04.0]A good feeling
[05:04.0]Yes, just a good feeling
[05:04.0]And it only happens now and then -
[05:04.0]Out of the mouth of a black dog
[05:04.0]Out of the terrors of 3 am
[05:04.0]Out of the dark and whispering fen
[05:04.0]I was blind then I could see, now I'm blind again
[05:04.0]So I hollered up to Jill
[05:04.0]"Come down from the mountain, your ears are 'a burning
[05:04.0]My speech is a fountain, it's been another long year
[05:04.0]But you know I'm not counting
[05:04.0]I dreamed you like you dreamed me
[05:04.0]O the bomb dreamed the fuse and the drowner dreamed the sea"
[05:04.0]What a strange feeling...
[05:04.0]Yes, it?s a strange feeling
[05:04.0]And it only happens now and then -
[05:04.0]Out of the mouth of a black dog
[05:04.0]Out of the terrors of 3 am
[05:04.0]Out of the dark and whispering fen
[05:04.0]I was blind then I could see, now I'm blind again
[05:04.0]Most of the Aegean Sea rushes into my bedroom and glitters for me
[05:04.0]The hills of Gallipoli all throw up their bones for my industry
[05:04.0]So I build from the charnel the ale house
[05:04.0]I build from the tomb a palace of dreams
[05:04.0]That old barren rockface got silver seams for a miner of middling means
[05:04.0]Singing poems of dissolution and schemes -
[05:04.0]My penny whistles, lo!
[05:04.0]Now I summon up Jack, sat up on the hill
[05:04.0]The wrong kind of music, the wrong kind of pill
[05:04.0]Impotent as a potato but still pleading "Give it up Mary
[05:04.0]But not by degrees..."
[05:04.0]A portrait of Jack, a study in sin, well I knew of myself before I knew of him
[05:04.0]Now even I couldn't tell ya just who it is asking
[05:04.0]"Give it up Mary, but not by degrees
[05:04.0]Give it up Mary, your virtue, please..."
[05:04.0]Into the mouth of a black dog - I go
[05:04.0]Into the terrors of 3 am - I go
[05:04.0]Into the dark and whispering fen - I go
[05:04.0]I was blind then blind again
[05:04.0]Into the mouth of a black dog - I go
[05:04.0]Into the terrors of 3 am - I go
[05:04.0]Into the dark and whispering fen - I go
[05:04.0]O what beast has my name on its snaggle tooth
[05:04.0]And eternal slobber for my finishing youth?
[05:04.0]My penny whistles low
