[00:00:00] Epistle To Derroll - Donovan (多诺万)

[00:00:00] Written by：Donovan

[00:00:22] Come all you starry starfish living in the deep blue sea

[00:00:29] Crawl to me I have a proposition to make thee

[00:00:36] Would you walk the north sea floor to Belgium from England

[00:00:43] Bring me word of a banjo man with a tattoo on his hand

[00:00:53] The spokesman of the starfish spoke as spokesmen should

[00:01:00] If'n you met our fee then certainly we would

[00:01:06] Should you cast a looking glass upon the scalloped sand

[00:01:13] You'll have word word of this banjo man with the tattoo on his hand

[00:01:31] Oh come you starry starfish I know your ways are caped

[00:01:38] Maybe it's because you're astrologically shaped

[00:01:45] Converse with the herring shoals as I know you can

[00:01:51] Bring me word of the banjo man with the tattoo on his hand

[00:02:05] The eldest of the starfish spoke after a sigh

[00:02:11] Youthful as you are young man you have a wisdom eye

[00:02:18] Surely you must know a looking glass is made from sand

[00:02:25] These young fish are fooling you about your banger man

[00:02:37] Oh come then aged starfish riddle me no more

[00:02:44] For news I am weary and my heart is sore

[00:02:51] All on the silent seashore help me if you can

[00:02:58] Tell to me if you know of the banjo man

[00:03:11] All through the seven oceans I am a star most famed

[00:03:17] Many leggier have I lost an many have I gained

[00:03:24] And strange to say quite recently I've been to Flemish land

[00:03:31] And if you are courteous I'll tell you all I can

[00:03:39] Oh you have my full attention I answered him with glee

[00:03:45] His brother stars were twinkling in the sky above the sea

[00:03:52] There I sat there with rapt attention on the sand

[00:03:59] Very anxious for to hear of the banjo man

[00:04:10] I have seen this tattooed hand through a ship's porthole

[00:04:16] Steaming on the watery main through the waves so cold

[00:04:23] Heard his tinkling banjo and his voice so grand

[00:04:29] But you must come to Belgium to shake the tattooed hand

[00:04:41] Oh gladly would I come o gladly would I go

[00:04:48] Had I not my work to do and my face to show

[00:04:54] And I rejoice to hear he's well but I must go inland

[00:05:01] Thank you for the words you brought of my banjo man

[00:05:12] I walked along the evening sand as charcoal clouds did shift

[00:05:19] Revealing the moon shining on the pebble drift

[00:05:26] Contemplating every other word the starfish said

[00:05:32] Whistle winds they filled my dreams in my dreaming bed
