Oh Look Around You Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

"Oh, look around you, 

Tell me what do you see? 

Do you see the yellow morning 

And the green land so free?" 

"Oh no, I see no morning 

But lands of dark and grey 

And they tell me the green land 

Has long gone away, 

Has long gone away."

"Once more look around you, 

Tell me what do you see? 

Do you see the clear wave laughter 

And the deep blue sea?" 

"Oh no, there is no sorrow 

Where the laughing tree stood 

And they tell me the blue sea 

Has long turned to blood, 

Has long turned to blood." 

"No more look around you, 

Say no more what you see. 

But give me your cold hand 

And lay beside me.

And there, oh my darling, 

You will never worry 

And we, like the others, 

Will forget in our sleep, 

Will forget in our sleep."
