Bert Jansch - Stone Monkey lyrics

rate me

Put on your cloud stepping shoes, and dance

Shake off the lonely bad blues, take a chance

Seek out and find a green jade pool

Hide behind the moon

Don't let the judges sing your name

Remember from where you came

He rolls and tumbles and he laughs, when he speaks

And heaven's sweet wine brings a blush, to his cheeks

Who showed him the way to live forever

Longer than anyone

For he stole the petals from the dying sun

Fresh when the day was done

Now over the seas o'r the mountains, he calls

There must be a way I can stay, Lord immortal

Wanna go to heaven on my flying trapeze

Eat all the fruit I please

Wanna drink my fill of that heavenly wine

Till the judges call my time

Chorus

Stone monkey gather your family round

And follow the sun on down
