Laughing Boy

The wind, it plays upon your hair

A vision of a glorious sea

The wind that follows down from there

Incarcerates the sea

The waking hours are the loneliest ones

For the sinister boys like me

Travelling east, straight lines from the past

I'm happy in morality

[Chorus]

Oh no, don't cast me out of here

Oh no, don't cast me out of here

Oh no, don't cast me out, I said "No"

I've got no place to go

The King and Queen of my estates

My real estates are real

The King and Queen have offered me

The estate of Robert Peel

Is it talent you need

Write the talents you see

Write the talent clear for me

And the sign that says

Clean the carpet, maid

Like a carpet, I rolled away

[Chorus]

The wind, it plays upon your hair

So ever so gloriously

So be content with the apple spent

On the William Tell of me

As the faces, they bleed

Watch them dull and recede

Won't you help to keep my spirit clear?

Stay a week and a day and never go away

Be forever in my presence, dear

[Chorus]
