sand (germany, 1970s) - old loggerhead lyrics
he’s [?] to living
in a ram#shackled cottage
outside the village, near the mystery ward
and the countryfolk whispers that sometimes as night
when the full moon is shining, he’s creeping outside
that he’s skipping and dancing ’round the dry well of stone
and when you are silent, there’s a horrible moan
he’s and old loggerhead
and actually, long ago, he is dead
once some fellows stormed up to his shed
they used caution to build deep dread
painted a white cross at the bridge [or gate]?
soon they marked the place of imaginary fate
and they returned to their peace#loving folk
reported, excited, on their nocturnal joke
he’s and old loggerhead
and actually, long ago, he is dead
time passed away, and the barnyards below
a number of people, in old age, have gone
a church clock announced both wedding and death
he celebrated his [?] mess
upon the dry well, in a stormy night
with a sinister giggle, he vanished inside
upon the dry well, in a stormy night
with a sinister giggle, he vanished inside
he was an old loggerhead
he is dead
he is dead
