Gently Tender Lyrics - Incredible String Band

Gently tender falls the rain 

Washing clean the slate again 

But leave me please, behind my brain 

This light doesn't shadow on her 

Shadows dancing through the pink milk blankets 

Where my mind lay dreaming gently of my loving you 

Sometimes I think I was true 

But then I loved the stone beneath my feet as much, usually 

Gently tender snow-drop grows 

See the past tense quietly go 

Kill the chord but let me know 

This light doesn't shadow on her 

Shadows dancing through the green bush trees 

Where my toes crept breathing lightly of my loving you 

Sometimes I think I was true 

But then I loved the stone beneath my feet as much, usually 

Slowly spitting crawls the snake 

See the branches bend and break 

Venom that might easily shake 

This light doesn't shadow on her 

Good, good loving, she gave me good loving 

Good, good loving, she gave me good loving 

Good, good loving, she gave me good 

And now all my wine is water 

To her all my wine is water 

All water, and my pearls are clear 

Good, good loving, she gave me good 

Good, good loving, she gave me good 

Good, good loving, she gave me good 

And now all my wine is water 

To her all my wine is water 

All water, and my pearls are clear 

She gave to me good loving 

She gave to me good loving 

She gave to me good loving 

Ohh good loving
