Swift As The Wind Lyrics - Incredible String Band

For my delight 

Swift as the wind flies 

His chariot and wings 

Shine, shine in the light of a thousand suns 

For he comes from the land of no night 

He comes from the land of no night 

There is no land 

The night is all around my child 

You must stop imagining all this 

You must stop imagining all this 

For your own good 

Why don't you go with the rest 

And play downstairs? 

Closing my eyes 

I see him so clear 

The blood on his sword 

Flashes so bright as it 

Falls to the skulls by his feet 

But his eyes they know all things 

Oh, his eyes they know all 

There is no blood 

No one knows all my child 

You must stop imagining all this 

You must stop imagining all this 

For your own good 

Why don't you go with the rest 

And play downstairs? 

Swift as the wind 

Stay if you will now 

Seeing you again will be, will be in your castle so fair 

But I make take some time on the way 

And may spend some time downstairs
