Pacidy (Live on BBC Night Ride, 22nd February 1970) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pacidy, my love
Glowing ember of evening
Your eyes are frozen with guilt
I read my fate on your cheeks
The smouldering coals of a passion
Once a meadow of hope

[Chorus]
Days of minstrels and bright steeds
Autumn nights and silk sheets
Your tender battle shed o'er me
Scented lavender kisses
Soft and warm, the union of strength
In a love against life, love against life

[Verse 2]
Pacidy, my love
Your touch, so limp, was once frenzied
Your ragged lips were once sweet
A life has slipped through my hands
My spirits sift in a stale sigh
Did love exist as a dream?

[Chorus]
Mother fawn of a pine wood
Shepherdess of my grief
Veils a freedom not for me
Far beyond the steep ridge
Where blizzards lash the spirit of man
The frailest of beasts, frailest of beasts
[Bridge]
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Where blizzards lash the spirit of man
The frailest of beasts, frailest of beasts

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Where blizzards lash the spirit of man
The frailest of beasts, frailest of beasts
