The Pentangle - Sweet Child lyrics

You've been working so hard all day won't you take your rest You 've been driving my blues away Now it is my turn Come fly beneath my wings Sweet child it may not be for long Well I may be a drinking hard Like a fish that swims And I could be riding high Like the floating cloud And if the rain does fall Sweet child that would not let you drown Well, I would not care to see what's within in your eyes I would not care to know Where your heart does lie I've tried to trust my heart But my eyes are pale on me Sweet child come to me now Let me take your hand Well I do not know you well yet I've tried so hard Through four and twenty years Sweet child, I still don't understand Well, I've heard there are great men Who could save our souls With kind and gentle hearts And love is their goal I really want to know Sweet child, who could shoot them down And I would rather tear him down With the sin in his life Who sheds his tears upon every mortal soul And I wonder does he yearn Sweet child, forget to comfort him And I once did see a child, she did sit and cry Where has the pretty flower in the darkness gone? In the summer you shall see Sweet child, I guess it won't be long Won't you lay yourself down and rest Let your mind relax And won't you cuddle into the night I will guide your path Well, I may not be here long 'Cause I got a feeling to be gone
