"Gulliver" lyrics

Gulliver

Gulliver's gone
To the final command
Of his master
His watery eyes
Had washed all the hills
With his laughter

And the seasons can change
All the light from the grey
To the dim
But the light in his eyes
Will see no more so bright
As the sheep
That he locked in the pen

There's four feet of ground
In front of the barn
That's sun baked and rain soaked
And part of the farm

But now it lies empty
So cold and so bare
Gulliver's gone
But his memory lies there

By passing the doors of his life
Was a stage I remember
And in later years
He would cease
To bare teeth to a stranger

For sentiment touched him
As Cyclamen holds him
And later men came
From the town
Who said, "Clear the child
This won't take a while"
And Gulliver's gone with the dawn

There's four feet of ground
In front of the barn
That's sun baked and rain soaked
And part of the farm

Now it lies empty
So cold and so bare
Gulliver's gone
But his memory lies there

Four feet of ground
In front of the barn
That's sun baked and rain soaked
And part of the farm

Now it lies empty
So cold and so bare
Gulliver's gone
But his memory lies there
