Harlequin Lyrics - Nursery Cryme - Genesis

Came the night a mist dissolved the trees 

And in the broken light colours fly, fading by. 

Pale and cold as figures fill the glade 

Grey is the web they spin, on and on, and on and on. 

Through the flame still summer lingers on 

Though her pictures soon shatter. 

All, always the same. 

But there appears in the shades of dawning, 

Though your eyes are dim, 

All of the pieces in the sky.

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

There was once a harvest in this land. 

Reap from the turquoise sky, harlequin, harlequin, 

Dancing round, three children fill the glade, 

Theirs was the laughter in the winding stream, and in between. 

Close your door, the picture fades again 

From the flames in the firelight. 

All, always the same, 

But there appears in the shades of dawning, 

Though your eyes are dim, 

All of the pieces in the sky. 

All, all is not lost, 

And light appears in the shades of dawning 

When your eyes can see 

Order the pieces, put them back, put them back.
