Thrown like a star in my vast sleep I open my eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the sea gazing with tranquility
'Twas then that the Hurdy Gurdy Man came singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man came singing songs of love
Chorus
Hurdy gurdy hurdy gurdy hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang (rpt 3 times)
Histories of ages past unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity the crying of humanity
