Hi, I would be really, really grateful if someone could take a look at my lyric transcriptions of 2 of the tracks from Pentangle's first album and tell me if they can spot any mistakes!...

Thanks very much in advance!!! :-)

PENTANGLING

The Summer slips below the surface,
Floating slowly in clear water,
Drinking sunlight through the fish eye,
See the moon broken...

Moonflowers bright with people walking,
Drinking wine and eating fruit, I'm laughing
Bought and sold, Life passes from one to another
Death alone walks with no one to converse with...

Well, I had a dream of love all night long
I thought I heard a siren sing a song of love...

...

I had a dream of love all night long
Well, I thought I heard a siren sing a song of love...

...

Now does this river belong to any party I know?
Get out a fish just a little to ease my body and soul...
She said : "I'm the dream " on the river bank
"Let my mind relax and let my consciousness be easy and free!"

MIRAGE

Come here, sweet lover
Come do, take my hand
Carry me
So far from here...

Take me far across
Desert burning red
Mirage
Come take me there...

Take me to the end
Over rainbow dream
Falling
Into your arm...

"Now does this river belong to any party I know?"

Any *body*, methinks. Good work.

marie could you be so kind as to post some chords if you have any. I am an avid fan of the pentangle but have never sat down to work out their stuff.
Thanks!

I don't know what I was thinking when writing "party" ???
Thanks again!

I was unaware that the lyrics are in the notes to my edition (The Pentangle, MSI 16081):

PENTANGLING

The sunlight slips below the surface
Floating slowly in clear water
Drinking sunlight through the fish eye
See the moon broken
Moon flowers bright with people walking
Drinking wine and eating fruit and laughing
Heart and soul thou passeth from one to another
Death alone walks with no one to converse with
Oh, I heard a dreamer laugh all night long
Well, I thought I heard a siren sing a song of love

Now does this river belong to anybody I know?
Y'know I fish just a little to ease my body and soul
To sit and t'dream on the river bank
Let my mind relax
Let my consciousness
Be easy and free

MIRAGE

Come here, sweet lover
Won't you take my hand?
Carry me so far from here
Take me far across deserts, burning well
Mirage, come take me there

Take me to the end
Of a rainbow dream
Falling into your arms

~Masato

There's nothing like the actual lyrics to help you discover what a poor tool ears can ofttimes be. Thank you, Masato.
