Shield Lyrics - The Book Of Taliesyn - Deep Purple

Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream 

While the children play in the field 

Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life 

But how strong is the shield? 

Can peace be found on the carpet above ground 

Where sky is forever blue 

So let it pass baby now, the slow and riding cloud 

Which may take me from you 

Many things a man can lose 

His self, his rights, his views 

But never his heart or his love 

So take this hand of mine and climb baby, climb 

To the hill up above

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

Now you can play a queen on the hill built on a dream 

While our children play in the field 

I can smoke the pipe of a sweet and better life 

And trust in the strength of the shield 

So trust in you love, and Lucy of above 

And let light pass like a wheel 

Don't take the chance of life's hectic dance 

Kiss the strength of the shield 

The seeker will be found by the looker on the ground 

And to his wish he will yield 

Fate will have it's word, of course [check this line] 

And time will change its course 

And hold the strength of the shield
