Listen, Learn, Read On (2000 Remastered Version)

In ages past when spells were cast In a time of men in steel Where a man was taught no special thing It was all done by feel So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn Hear the song of lovely Joan Her sound so sweet and clear In the courtroom of the King Among children and the peers So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn "Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn on the foaming beach of the ocean in the day of trouble I shall be of more service to thee than three hundred Salmon..." The hare he bounds across the page Past castles white and fair Two dreaming chessmen on their boards With a fool's mate as a snare So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn "Three times I have been born I know this from meditation..." The bird he flies the distance From pages two to six Past minstrels in their boxes To the waters of the Styx So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn Don't take the pictures lightly Listen to their sound For from their coloured feeling Experience is found So listen, so learn, so read on You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn "All the sciences of the world are collected in my breast for I know what has been, what is now and what hereafter will occur..."
