Seals & Crofts - Purple Hand lyrics

rate me

(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1970)

From the albums DOWN HOME (1970) and SEALS AND CROFTS I AND II (1974).

It came in early morning, an ordinary day. When all the sleepy citizens were on their merry way.

No mortal eye, no voice, no ear escaped the destined plan. When all of us together had to face the purple hand.

Let them be, don't bother let them be. It's too early for them to see.

Let them go, don't bother, let them go. Come tomorrow, they will know.

First there was an ocean, and ordinary street. Then suddenly a mountain began to show its peak.

Remember back unto the day when twenty thousand taught. This is it get off your knees,

Look what your hands have wrought.

Let them be, don't bother let them be. It's too early for them to see.

Let them go, don't bother, let them go. Come tomorrow, they will know.
