Listen, Learn, Read On Lyrics - The Book Of Taliesyn - Deep Purple

In ages past when spells were cast 

In a time of men in steel 

When a man was taught no special thing 

It was all done by feel 

So listen, so learn, so read on 

You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn 

Hear the song of lovely Joan 

Her sound so sweet and clear 

In the courtroom of the King 

Among children and the peers 

So listen, so learn, so read on 

You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

"Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn, 

on the foaming beach of the ocean, 

in the day of trouble, 

I shall be of more service to thee 

than three hundred salmon..." 

The hare he bounds across the page 

Past castles white and fair 

Past dreaming chessmen on their boards 

With a fool's mate as a snare 

So listen, so learn, so read on 

You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn 

"Three times I have been born 

I know this from meditation..." 

The bird he flies the distance 

From pages two to six 

Past minstrels in their boxes 

To the waters of the Styx 

So listen, so learn, so read on 

You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn 

Don't take the pictures lightly 

Listen to their sound 

For from their coloured feeling 

Experience is found 

So listen, so learn, so read on 

You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn 

"All the sciences of the world are collected in my breast, 

for I know what has been, what is now, 

and what hereafter will occur..."
