Pentangle Lyrics: Pentangling

Pentangle
Pentangling
Transcribed November 2002
By Doug Johnson*
From the CD 'Early Classics'

     ..     ..     ..     

The summer1 slips2 below the surface
Floating slowly in clear water
Drinking sunlight through the fisheye
See the moon broken

Moonflowers bright with people walking
Drinking wine and eating fruit and laughing
Heart and soul life passes one to another3
Death alone walks with no one to converse with

Well I had a dream of love
All night long
I thought I heard a siren sing
A song of love

          .   .   .

(Well) I had a dream of love
All night long
(Well) I thought I heard a siren sing
A song of love

           .  .  . 

Now does this river belong to anybody I know?
You know I fished just a little to ease my body and soul4 

Just sit and dream on the river bank
Let my mind relax and let my consciounsness be easy and free

Peggy Denny suggests this should be "summer".
It kind of sounds like "sun rays" to me.
VaNumNum suggests "sunlight".
2)
Klaus Ziegler suggests this could be 'sleeps'
3)
Peggy Denny suggests this could be either "Heart and soul life passes from one to another" or "Bought and sold life passes from one to another".
4)
Peggy Denny suggests "You know I fished just a little to ease my body and soul"
VaNumNum suggests "Can I just fish here a little to ease my body and soul"
* Many of these lyrics came from emails from Peggy Denny and VaNumNum. Suggestions came from an email from Klaus Ziegler.
