Three Is A Green Crown Lyrics - Incredible String Band

Not with the lips of skin nor yet with the lips of dark snow 

But let the white dove sing 

Of the body of life of the lover whose love is complete 

Hold hands out to greet, let not the swan be brought low 

For all that is moving, is moved by her hands 

She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands 

In the building of thoughts in the shifting of sands 

Life, life remembering 

Well here you are now, O now you are here 

Well how has it been so far? 

The hair and the fur 

Lemons, frankincenses and myrrh 

For all that is moving is moved by her hands 

She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands 

In the building of thoughts in the shifting of sands 

Let the cracked crystal raindrop be merged in the sea 

Silent shining thoughtless free 

But close your eyes to find the golden flower 

And open them to see the sunshine shower 

Where the flowers are free and the fishes ask ah, what can water be 

She beareth thought, she beareth visions 

Speaking truth in contradictions 

Dreams of pain, dreams of laughter 

And every action follows after 

O second self, O gate of the soft mystery 

I'll love you if you'll love me, O guide me 

With the gold of Gabriel's wing grant me the tongue 

That all the earth does sing 

Vibrating light forever one the sun 

The book of life is open to us 

There'll be no secrets left between us
