Koeeoaddi There Lyrics - Incredible String Band

The natural cards revolve ever changing 

Seeded elsewhere planted in the garden 

Fair grow trees, grow trees 

Tongues of the sheer wind 

Setting you foot where the sand is untrodden 

The ocean that only begins 

Listen, a woman with a bulldozer built this house now 

Carving away the mountain, whose name is your childhood home 

We were trying to buy it, buy it, buy it, someone was found killed 

There all bones, bones, dry bones 

Earth water fire and air 

Met together in a garden fair 

Put in a basket bound with skin 

If you answer this riddle 

If you answer this riddle,you'll never begin 

Born in a house where the doors shut tight 

Shadowy fingers on the curtains at night 

Cherry tree blossom head high snow 

A busy main road where I wasn't to go 

I used to sit on the garden wall 

Say hello to people going by so tall 

Hallo to the postman's stubbly skin 

Hallo to the baker's stubbly grin 

Mrs. Thompson gave me a bear 

Brigitte and some people lived upstairs 

Skating on happy valley pond 

Various ministers and guards stood around 

The ice was nice, hallo, the invisible brethren 

And there was a tent, you played cards with the soldiers in 

Don't worry we won't send anyone after you, they screamed 

But me and licorice saw the last of them one misty twisty day 

Across the mournful morning, moor motoring away 

Singing ladybird, ladybird what is your wish 

Your wish is not granted unless it's a fish 

Your wish is not granted unless it's a dish 

A fish on a dish is that what you wish 

Earth water fire and air 

Met together in a garden fair 

Put in a basket bound with skin 

If you answer this riddle 

If you answer this riddle, you'll never begin
