Epistle To Derroll - Donovan (多诺万)[00:00:00]

Written by：Donovan[00:00:00]

Come all you starry starfish living in the deep blue sea[00:00:22]

Crawl to me I have a proposition to make thee[00:00:29]

Would you walk the north sea floor to Belgium from England[00:00:36]

Bring me word of a banjo man with a tattoo on his hand[00:00:43]

The spokesman of the starfish spoke as spokesmen should[00:00:53]

If'n you met our fee then certainly we would[00:01:00]

Should you cast a looking glass upon the scalloped sand[00:01:06]

You'll have word word of this banjo man with the tattoo on his hand[00:01:13]

Oh come you starry starfish I know your ways are caped[00:01:31]

Maybe it's because you're astrologically shaped[00:01:38]

Converse with the herring shoals as I know you can[00:01:45]

Bring me word of the banjo man with the tattoo on his hand[00:01:51]

The eldest of the starfish spoke after a sigh[00:02:05]

Youthful as you are young man you have a wisdom eye[00:02:11]

Surely you must know a looking glass is made from sand[00:02:18]

These young fish are fooling you about your banger man[00:02:25]

Oh come then aged starfish riddle me no more[00:02:37]

For news I am weary and my heart is sore[00:02:44]

All on the silent seashore help me if you can[00:02:51]

Tell to me if you know of the banjo man[00:02:58]

All through the seven oceans I am a star most famed[00:03:11]

Many leggier have I lost an many have I gained[00:03:17]

And strange to say quite recently I've been to Flemish land[00:03:24]

And if you are courteous I'll tell you all I can[00:03:31]

Oh you have my full attention I answered him with glee[00:03:39]

His brother stars were twinkling in the sky above the sea[00:03:45]

There I sat there with rapt attention on the sand[00:03:52]

Very anxious for to hear of the banjo man[00:03:59]

I have seen this tattooed hand through a ship's porthole[00:04:10]

Steaming on the watery main through the waves so cold[00:04:16]

Heard his tinkling banjo and his voice so grand[00:04:23]

But you must come to Belgium to shake the tattooed hand[00:04:29]

Oh gladly would I come o gladly would I go[00:04:41]

Had I not my work to do and my face to show[00:04:48]

And I rejoice to hear he's well but I must go inland[00:04:54]

Thank you for the words you brought of my banjo man[00:05:01]

I walked along the evening sand as charcoal clouds did shift[00:05:12]

Revealing the moon shining on the pebble drift[00:05:19]

Contemplating every other word the starfish said[00:05:26]

Whistle winds they filled my dreams in my dreaming bed[00:05:32]
