William Butler Yeats Visits Lincoln Park And Escapes Unscathed Lyrics

    pre>
    Am c g
    As i went out one evening to take the evening air
    F g c f
    I was blessed by a blood-red moon
    Dm g am g
    In lincoln park the dark was turning
    I spied a fair young maiden and a flame was in her eyes
    And on her face lay the steel blue skies
    Of lincoln park, the dark was turning
    Turning

    They spread their sheets upon the ground just like a wandering tribe
    And the wise men walked in their robespierre robes
    Through lincoln park the dark was turning
    The towers trapped and trembling, and the boats were tossed about
    When the fog rolled in and the gas rolled out
    From lincoln park the dark was turning
    Turning

    Like wild horses freed at last we took the streets of wine
    But i searched in vain for she stayed behind
    In lincoln park the dark was turning
    I'll go back to the city where i can be alone
    And tell my friend she lies in stone
    In lincoln park the dark was turning
