Dreams Of No Return Lyrics - Incredible String Band

Dreams of no return 

Waking in the early dawn 

Dreams of no return 

Waking in the early dawn 

To whom I sourly yearned 

In my weakest spell 

But what I could not know 

You could not show me 

Old hotel the walls weep and the door leans 

The blackbird quits the eaves 

And the lonesome spider sings 

Saw my sweet and soothing prayer was air 

Why should you care 

I never saw the tomb you they laid 

There was already too much shade 

What could it bring? What if you know? 

I need no hand of yours 

But still I feel you kiss 

While I have words to sing 

Perhaps you treasure nothing from before 

In the time I had no friends 

I held your picture like a tongueless bell 

When I really saw I was wrong 

I wrote this song to seem a fond farewell 

I've been in the north west world 

Looking out on an endless view 

When you were any reason 

Why? Was I really any use to you?
