Minstrel of the Dawn Lyrics

The minstrel of the dawn is here,
To make you laugh and bend your ear,
Up the steps you'll hear him climb,
All full of thoughts, all full of rhymes,
Listen to the pictures flow,
A - cross the room in - to your mind they go,
Listen to the strings, they jangle and dangle,
While the old gui - tar rings!
A minstrel of the dawn is he,
Not too wise, but, oh, so free,
He'll talk of life out on the street,
He'll play it sad, and say it sweet,
Look into his shining face of loneliness,
You'll always find a trace,
Just like me and you,
He's trying to get into things more happy than blue!
reak
A minstrel of the changing tide,
He'll ask for nothing but his pride,
Just sit him down, u - pon that chair,
Go fetch some wine, and set it there,
Listen to the pictures flow,
And follow the fingers where they go,
Listen to the strings, they jangle and dangle,
While the old gui - tar rings!
A minstrel of the dawn is near,
Just like a 'step'n'fetch it' here,
He's like an old time troubadour,
Just wanting life, and nothing more,
Look into his shining eyes,
And, if you see a ghost, don't be sur - prised,
Like me and you,
He's trying to get into things more happy than blue!
A minstrel boy will understand,
He holds a promise in his hand,
He talks of better days ahead,
And by his word your fortune's read,
Listen to the pictures flow a - cross the room,
In - to your mind they go,
Listen to the strings, they jangle and dangle,
While the old gui - tar rings!
The minstrel of the dawn is gone,
I hope he'll call be - fore too long,
And, if you meet him,
You must be the victim of his minstrelsy!
oda
He'll sing for you a song,
The minstrel----- ...of the dawn------!
