The Iron Stone Lyrics - Incredible String Band

A long wind, a weaving mind 

Over all the land the wild flowers grow echoing kind to kind 

On that day when I found the iron stone 

Heavy in my hand in the sloping rain 

Ever the seas rolled on and over my heart 

They roofed their slates of gray 

The iron stone I found it on that day 

The iron stone I brought it home 

Heavy in my hand I brought it home 

Black as the thoughts of doom 

A man told me it came from the moon 

Flying through time, it flew 

Upon the long beach, there I found it 

Dancing horses told their tale 

Among the stones it called me there, my hand it knew 

Seeing in the thickness of the thick black sight 

Forests and centaurs and Gods of the night 

Never that sun shone on 

Where high Atlantis raised her shores 

How sang the dragons of the sea 

The stag hunt rushing round the world 

One turn of light it's gone again 

The eyes of Merlin speak 

Beneath their crown of silver gray 

A piece of iron black and heavy 

Smoothed and rounded by the sea 

Holding its sand and stones
