Listen, Listen Lyrics
by Sandy Denny
Listen, Listen - Sandy Denny
This is a ridiculously simple song, turned into one of Sandy's most beautiful ones by
the way she turns the harmony of the melody around and inside out.
Intro: G
The young boy rose his pretty face,
All for to feel the salty spray.
When storms are mustering, they say
I'll come and take you all away.
I am a traveller by trade,
I only have what I have made.
A fortune teller too they say,
And I can take you all away.
Listen listen to him do.
He is the one who is for you.
Listen, they say
He'll come and take us all away.
He--------
(chorus)
And over there the young man stayed,
Upon on the rocks so rough and grey.
Watching the boy, watching the day
Thinking of how he came to be.
A young man he, he is so real,
And never more to go astray.
He is of value now they say,
And he can take himself away.
(chorus)
Outro: F Am G
