Scaramoche Lyrics by John Phillips (ZWE)

John

1969

[Verse 1]
Scaramoche the weary jester, sells his misery for delight
Dances in his bubble and patchwork peacock ties
Frolics in the halls of King Apollo's town of ice
Somersaults and tumbles to the feet of the silver night
[Verse 2]
The cloak of the Sorcerer, glides from his shoulder
Falls to the floor, with his whiskers of snow
He summons from Pluto, his demons and goblins
Stands in the doorway so ancient and cold
[Verse 3]
The long jeweled fingers, all florescent on his strings
Mellow muted lute, celestially it sings
Wooden Tambourine with dangling jangling, silver rings
Love endure in harmony, a bouquet it brings
[Verse 4]
The Palace is still, but the kingdom is singing
The People they were, the children they play
In the hills of the church hills the bells, they are ringin'
While Sucro flies again to lands far away
