Testo Oh My Father - Bert Jansch
Testo della canzone Oh My Father (Bert Jansch), tratta dall'album Sketches
Oh, my father, oh where can you be?
Do you travel the earth just like me?
As you pass on your way
Can you hear the people cry?
Can you hear people cry in the night?
Have you seen the hungry faces from the east?
Or have you seen the wealthy princes from the west?
Have you seen the cornfields burnt to the ground
Just to keep their prices high
And keep their money safe and sound?
Have you seen the little children starving there?
Have you seen the light of God burning bright?
A revelation that blinds your wicked ways
Has it granted entrance to his heavenly home?
Has he given license to preachers of love abroad?
Have you given up your soul to his own?
Or have you weakened and set your body free?
Let your mind grope with dreams of misery
Can you smell the poppy seed floating through the air?
Or is it ruby wine you need and a woman young and fair?
Have you sold out to the devil's greed?
Oh, my father, oh where can you be?
Now do you travel the earth just like me?
As you pass on your way
Can you hear the people cry?
Can you hear people cry in the night?
