lyrics

JACOB FLEET

My name is Jacob Fleet
I feel the solid world
Revolve beneath my feet
I stride over plains
Through the copse
And through the glade
I pace through the day.

And a voice tells me
'Never stop never stay
Don't let your shadow fade.'

I scale the steeple streets
All empty but for song
Woodsmoke and Sabbath meat
I pace down the lanes
If I stop my shadow fades
I walk and I pray.

And the wind tells me
'Oh come back home again'
And the hedges began to hum
'Never stop never stay
Don't let your shadow fade.'

My name is Jacob Fleet
I walk the golden mist
Of Alabaster street
My scant figure strays
Through the lost
White lilac lanes
Where heavens angels prey
But I will not stop or stay
I rage into the day.

And the wind tells me
'Oh come back home again'
And the hedges began to hum
'Never stop never stay
Don't let your shadow fade.'

I saw a girl standing by a pail
I heard the tell-tale wind
In the windmill sails.

Words: S H Jones
