Manfred Mann — Cubist Town

The world was just the world of pollen air I wandered ‘round and ‘round the busy square I turned and floated gently upside down And one by one the people gathered ‘round The rivers and the bridges turned to blue The thin edge of the night is creeping through The orange sun is dying on the line And slowly melts into a sea of wine Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight The day has vanished with the night The light has vanished with the day And the bride who passed it quietly away The table groans, the evening meal’s begin The wedding song of love has just been sung But there’s too much of this, too much for me I go outside where darkness sets me free Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight The day has vanished with the night The light has vanished with the day And the bride who passed it quietly away I thought I saw the house where you were born A yellow house, the colour of the corn I thought I saw strange beasts up in the sky But music filled my mind and they passed by Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight The day has vanished with the night The light has vanished with the day And the bride who passed it quietly away But music filled my mind and they passed by Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight (The day has vanished with the night) Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight (The light has vanished with the day) Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight (The day has vanished with the night) Goodnight, cubist town, goodnight (The light has vanished with the day)...
