Lyrics for To Althea From Prison by Fairport Convention:
| | | Artist: | Fairport Convention |
| | Album: | Nine | | Track: | To Althea From Prison | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 306 | | | | Lyrics: | When love, with unconfined wings, hovers within my gates
And my ?divine now fear? brings to
whisper at my grates
When I lie tangled in her hair and fettered with her eye
Birds that
wanton in the air know no such liberty
When flowing cups run swiftly round with no
allaying ?tense?
Our careless heads with roses crowned, our hearts with royal flames
When
first decreeth in wine we steep when healths and rafts run free
Fishes that tipple in the deep
know no such liberty
Stone walls do not a prison make not iron bars a gate
Minds
innocent and quiet take that as a hermitage
If I have freedom in my love and in my soul am
free
Angels alone that soar above enjoy such liberty | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
