Sweet William - Johnny Flynn[00:00:00]

I was born with this story it's older than I[00:00:04]

Yet you when you hear it you'll know in the sky[00:00:09]

In the wind of your knowledge in the cut of your jib[00:00:15]

That the fibre of wind is as new from my lip[00:00:20]

As was ever and more[00:00:25]

And ever will be[00:00:28]

'Til the union we face casts us finally free[00:00:30]

For we in the love of an earth bidden dance[00:00:41]

Stand enthralled of that[00:00:45]

Which from heaven perchance[00:00:48]

Let's us move with the gifts we were given in grace[00:00:50]

And smile in the arms of sweet William's embrace[00:00:56]

William's wanderings took him abroad[00:01:09]

Showed him the lay of the searcher's long road[00:01:14]

To the place he stood now 'neath the black laden sky[00:01:19]

And the crook of his father had brought fortune nigh[00:01:24]

Read the sign where he looked[00:01:29]

Not the bull nor the bear[00:01:32]

Nor a burly red lion or the tortoise and hare[00:01:34]

For we in the love of an earth bidden dance[00:01:45]

Stand enthralled of that[00:01:49]

Which from heaven perchance[00:01:52]

Lets us move with the gifts we were given in grace[00:01:55]

And smile in the arms of sweet William's embrace[00:02:00]

The end of the world was the name of the Inn[00:02:13]

Said fair William farewell to the world and it's sin[00:02:18]

It's sin[00:02:28]

Full balmy was the winter air[00:02:33]

All wet with what might die[00:02:36]

A wishing well the ocean bear[00:02:39]

A millpond in his eyes[00:02:41]

A glance to see from whence he came[00:02:44]

For William with a landlocked turn[00:02:46]

Vermin what he stood to lose[00:02:49]

The skin shot snakes and earthy worms[00:02:51]

His boots trod soft inside the inn[00:02:56]

His greeted all was here[00:02:59]

Abrasive lowly nods came back[00:03:01]

Then bent toward their beer[00:03:04]

They must know I thought willy now[00:03:06]

They've seen me come from miles[00:03:09]

The thought was struck as whisky poured[00:03:11]

And barmen gave all smiles[00:03:14]

Then followed this a curious thing[00:03:19]

The eldest of the host[00:03:24]

Sang softly where he sat and drank[00:03:29]

To love a worthy toast[00:03:34]

His song was of a stranger[00:03:39]

Summoned for his rope[00:03:45]

In all would be to set us free[00:03:50]

His song was strong and bold[00:03:55]

It went[00:03:59]

For we in the love of an earth bidden dance[00:04:01]

Stand enthralled of that[00:04:05]

Which from heaven perchance[00:04:07]

Lets us move with the gifts we were given in grace[00:04:10]

And smile in the arms of sweet William's embrace[00:04:16]

I was born with this story it's older than I[00:04:28]

And yet you when you hear it you'll know in the sky[00:04:33]

In the wind of your knowledge in the cut of your jib[00:04:38]

That the fibre of wind is as new from my lip[00:04:43]

As was ever and more[00:04:48]

And ever will be[00:04:51]

'Til the union we face casts us finally free[00:04:53]
