Mr Crescent Ft The Imposters Letras

Mr. Crescent
Heard the song of both the lark and the linnet
Played them both upon a parlour spinet
One with only nine strings in it
Clinging to the sounding board
For that was all he could afford



Mr. Crescent made a wager on a landing stage

If my ship comes in and the starboard light is blue, not green

And the port light should be yellow, not red

You'll say the hold is full of false promises

When I know it's gold instead



Sister Honey said to Mr. Crescent

"Haven't you prayed away your doubt or isn't there

Anything more that I can bless?"



As she buttonеd her blue boot in a state of bliss

Starеd at the ceiling above their bed

Thought of something her mother had said



Crescent is like a man I knew

Left me standing there with nothing but you

Don't be fooled now by his bill and coo

You'll be abandoned too, he'll leave you with an I.O.U

Mr. Crescent sleeps quite late, then rises

Tries to stay out of the local assizes

Not one bird sings now he recognizes

He said, "I'm so long from the land that I came from

I wonder where my Honey has gone

I wonder where my Honey has gone"
