The Golden Salamander - The Strawbs[00:00:00]
The bird had silver wings my friends[00:00:34]
And reached out for the sky[00:00:38]
She found her wings were broken[00:00:42]
She had lost her right to fly[00:00:46]
The pink eyed salamander[00:00:51]
Changed her colours for the day[00:00:55]
She changed from white to purest gold[00:00:59]
And left the stag at bay[00:01:04]
Now I am but a poor man[00:01:08]
In the apple blossom state[00:01:12]
I choose to fly where'er I please[00:01:17]
The stag must needs a mate[00:01:21]
My golden salamander[00:01:25]
You must take me as I am[00:01:29]
I cannot change my colours[00:01:34]
I am but a simple man[00:01:38]
The golden salamander[00:01:52]
Had become the rite of spring[00:01:55]
The silver bird made promises[00:02:00]
That scarcely meant a thing[00:02:04]
She told the wicked huntsman[00:02:09]
Where the stag had run to rest[00:02:12]
Now the elderly survivor[00:02:17]
Knew this was not for the best[00:02:21]
She opened up her heart[00:02:26]
And prayed for peace for all mankind[00:02:29]
She asked a fortune teller[00:02:34]
But found out that she was blind[00:02:38]
My golden salamander[00:02:43]
You must take me as I am[00:02:46]
I cannot change my colours[00:02:51]
I am but a simple man[00:02:55]
The clouds were passing over[00:03:17]
There was little sign of rain[00:03:21]
The sun was slowly rising[00:03:26]
From it's slumberdown again[00:03:29]
The stag had run to cover[00:03:34]
In a copse beside the lake[00:03:38]
The huntsman broke the silence[00:03:43]
It's the birds began to wake[00:03:47]
The fortune teller smiled[00:03:51]
As the survivor spoke of fate[00:03:55]
He thanked her for her interest[00:04:00]
But knew it was too late[00:04:04]
My golden salamander[00:04:08]
You must take me as I am[00:04:12]
I cannot change my colours[00:04:17]
I am but a simple man[00:04:21]
