White Light Songtext

von Gene Clark

Oh, the village of the hill
A
Sitting silently at will
F#m A E
Like some prophecy forgotten by an age
E
With no guns before its gate
A
The mysterious estate
F#m A E
Lies waiting for its history's dawning page
A A/G# F#m E
With the raging of the sea before its height
A A/G# F#m E E A F#m A E
And the strength of those whom see beyond their sight
E
Oh, the smithies anvil rings
A
And the symphony it sings
F#m A E
No voice nor poet's pen can put to tune
E
And electric lines of force
A
Ring around the humble lives
F#m A E
Of the souls that hear the master saying soon
A A/G# F#m E
With the clouds that gather near disturb the night
A A/G# F#m E E E A F#m A E
Striking flashes of a difference, fleeing fright
E
No slight of tongue nor hand
A
Can so boldly there withstand
A F#m A E
When the spirit of it's truth shall speak the time
E
And no ignorance of life
A
Can be held within the sight
F#m A E
Of the buttresses of ageless binds of time
A A/G# F#m E
The communion of the forces take delight
A A#G F#m E E E A F#m A E
With the fear that no tongues may read nor write
E
White Light
E
Oh the village of the hill
A
Sitting silently still
F#m A E
With the strength of ages past they're still at hand
E
Reckons not to look behind
A
But to look within and find
F#m A E
And to hear of those enlightened by the lamb
A A/G# F#m E
With the powers of the wind both fierce and light
A A/G# F#m E
And the waters of the storm went through the night
