Hurdy Gurdy Man Lyrics

Thrown like a star in my fast sleep
I opened my eyes to take a peek
To find that I'm beside the sea
Gazing with tranquility

Then come the hurdy gurdy man
Come a-singing songs of love
Then come the hurdy gurdy man
Come a-singing songs

Then come the hurdy gurdy man
Come a-singing songs of love
Then come the hurdy gurdy man
Come a-singing songs

You that then come the hurdy gurdy man
Come a-singing songs of love
Then come the hurdy gurdy man
Come a-singing songs

You that then come the hurdy gurdy man
Come a-singing songs of love
Then come the hurdy gurdy man
Come a-singing songs

History of ages past
Running light and shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity
Then come the hurdy gurdy man
Come a-singing songs of love
Then come the hurdy gurdy man
Come a-singing songs

Then come the hurdy gurdy man
(You know that the hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy)
Come a-singing songs of love
(Hurdy gurdy man)
Then come the hurdy gurdy man
(Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy)
Come a-singing songs
(Man, hurdy gurdy man)

Then come the hurdy gurdy man
(Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy)
Come a-singing songs of love
(Hurdy gurdy man)
Then come the hurdy gurdy man
Come a-singing songs

(Hurdy gurdy man)
(Hurdy gurdy man)
(Hurdy gurdy man)
