Donovan - In An Old-Fashioned Picture Book Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Come take a look with me in an old fashioned picture book.
  • Patience, the girl we see on the sand with the squint and parasol low.
  • Sweethearts are sewn 'tween the cloth of her cuff,
  • A shell in her little tight hand; soon she'll be going away
  • With her bottle of sand tomorrow from the shores of yesterday.
  • Come see her move and be in our old fashioned backward look,
  • Just like an old movie, talking and real like when it was took.
  • Bats, balls and Tomboys, cheeky and gruff,
  • Faint sounds of a distant brass band, who rides the donkey today,
  • Will our visions of tomorrow mingle with those of yesterday ?
  • Come, close your eyes and hear melodies from an old music box,
  • Tinkling as tandems and tears go tumbling like tresses and small perfumed locks,
  • Sweet dreams were sewn 'tween the years of her life
  • A tear in her little kerchief, waving and fading away
  • With her ottled sand tomorrow, from thnbe shores of yesterday.
  • Will her visions of tomorrow mingle with those of yesterday ?
  • Come take a look with me in an old fashioned picture book
