Stone Monkey (Jansch Bert)

Put on your cloud stepping shoes, and dance Shake off the lonely bad blues, take a chance Seek out and find a green jade pool Hide behind the moon Don't let the judges sing your name Remember from where you came He rolls and tumbles and he laughs, when he speaks And heaven's sweet wine brings a blush, to his cheeks Who showed him the way to live forever Longer than anyone For he stole the petals from the dying sun Fresh when the day was done Now over the seas o'r the mountains, he calls There must be a way I can stay, Lord immortal Wanna go to heaven on my flying trapeze Eat all the fruit I please Wanna drink my fill of that heavenly wine Till the judges call my time Chorus Stone monkey gather your family round And follow the sun on down
