Lyrics
(Lyrics by james seals; music by james seals & dash crofts, 1971) From the albums down home (1970), seals and crofts I and ii (1974) and Today (1998, 2000)
Make me as a hollow reed, that I may play and plant thy seed Rascal's closet may be lit, and have a needy rhyme in it Make me as a flute of stone that when I play thy wind is blown Rascal's hideaway might chill, and die away from sill to sill Hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed
Make me as a hollow reed that I may sing your grace, my steed Rascal's secret will be seen in its decay and sickening green Make me as a proof in turn, I will prove to them that yearn Rascal's lie is manifest and never could survive your test Hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed
Make me as a hollow reed so I may give them what they need Rascal's reign will come to end and monarch's eyes will shine again Make me strong for I am weak, give me words and I will speak . rascal's cheeks will burn in shame when all of us know your name Hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed Hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed, hollow reed
