[ti:go,and catch a falling star] |

[ar:Ketil Bjornstad] |
|
[al:the shadow] |
| [00:19.36] |
Go and catch a falling star , |
| [00:24.91] |
Get with child a mandrake root , |
| [00:29.66] |
Tell me where all past years are , |
| [00:34.42] |
Or who cleft the devil’s foot , |
| [00:39.27] |
Teach me to hear mermaids singing , |
| [00:44.28] |
Or to keep off envy’s stinging , |
| [00:49.18] |
And find |
| [00:51.82] |
What wind |
| [00:53.96] |
Serves to advance an honest mind . |
| [00:59.42] |
|
| [01:18.27] |
If thou be’st born to strange sights , |
| [01:23.58] |
Things invisible to see , |
| [01:28.47] |
Ride ten thousand days and nights , |
| [01:33.42] |
Till age snow white hairs on thee , |
| [01:38.13] |
Thou , when thou return’st , wilt tell me , |
| [01:43.39] |
All strange wonders that befell thee , |
| [01:47.98] |
And swear |
| [01:50.43] |
No where |
| [01:52.98] |
Lives a woman true , and fair . |
| [01:58.18] |
|
| [03:16.37] |
If thou find’st one , let me know , |
| [03:21.21] |
Such a pilgrimage were sweet ; |
| [03:26.42] |
Yet do not , I would not go , |
| [03:32.19] |
Though at next door we might meet, |
| [03:37.06] |
Though she were true , when you met her , |
| [03:42.11] |
And last , till you write your letter , |
| [03:46.79] |
Yet she |
| [03:49.38] |
Will be |
| [03:51.64] |
False , ere I come , to two , or three . |
