[00:00.00]Then Came the Children (LP版) - Paul Siebel
[00:23.99]Come gather all around me friends
[00:27.40]I'll tell to you about the minstrel band
[00:33.98]Of children in their witches hats
[00:37.64]And painting pictures with the pipes of pan
[00:44.09]The young boy and his sister played
[00:47.65]Some tunes upon a whistle made of tin
[00:54.19]And led me through the flower gardens
[00:57.99]Laughing at the postman's stubby chin
[01:04.91]In my dizzy stupor I was trying
[01:09.23]Hard to forfeit all I'd known
[01:14.78]And listen to this music that could
[01:18.55]Swirl me in a magic all their own
[01:42.85]Somewhere in the distance you and I
[01:46.90]Had fought the monster to a draw
[01:53.12]In those days of books and wine
[01:56.39]With Ferlinghetti grasping for a straw
[02:03.68]Out along the highways we had
[02:07.06]Journeyed far to find the mystic smile
[02:13.78]With chasing down identities my God
[02:18.10]We must have run a million miles
[02:24.11]Oh we can teach them nothing nothing
[02:28.08]But survival in a desert bare
[02:34.54]But they can teach us how to love
[02:38.16]And live and tie bright ribbons in our hair
[03:02.72]Oh sing for us you children tinkle bells
[03:07.01]And rhyme the purple green and blue
[03:12.90]And think of us as fighting fools
[03:16.54]Who wintered through the seasons loving you
[03:23.62]Oh we can teach them nothing nothing
[03:27.70]But survival in a desert bare
[03:33.88]But you can teach us how to love
[03:37.62]And live and tie bright ribbons in our hair
