Píseň: Shield

Interpret:
Deep Purple
Album:
The Book Of Taliesyn
Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream 
While the children play in the field 
Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life 
But how strong is the shield? 
Can peace be found on the carpet above ground 
Where sky is forever blue 


So let it pass baby now, the slow and riding cloud 
Which may take me from you 


Many things a man can lose 
His self, his rights, his views 
But never his heart or his love 
So take this hand of mine and climb baby, climb 
To the hill up above 


Now you can play a queen on the hill built on a dream 
While our children play in the field 
I can smoke the pipe of a sweet and better life 
And trust in the strength of the shield 


So trust in you love, and Lucy of above 
And let light pass like a wheel 
Don't take the chance of life's hectic dance 
Kiss the strength of the shield 


The seeker will be found by the looker on the ground 
And to his wish he will yield 


Fate will have it's word, of course [think this line is wrong...] 
And time will change its course 
And hold the strength of the shield
