When The Music Starts To Play lyrics

Song information

Artist: The Incredible String Band

Lyrics

All my life and it's been a short one;
I've met the happy and the sad together
I chased the soft warm air that flew before me
And through the storm on wings of love
The song of life bore me

And when the music starts to play let e be around, (i said)
When the music starts to play let me be around
Oh, can't you see how my heart soars high
When I hear that music
When the music starts to play let me be around

When sadness lays his cold fist on my shoulder
And pushes me in icy waters drowning
The gentle hand of music lifts me smiling
And through these sounds my heart takes bounds
I happy am
