Donovan - Breezes Of Patchulie Lyrics






The long gone breezes are blowing down the sky.
From my window to the street I cast my weary eye.
Everything is quiet in the lonesome dusky night.
I'm feeling so alone in the darkness of my night.
I remember the days when the sun was warm with love
Softening as the day grew old in dazzling streaks of gold.
Now my days are meek, the sunset's the cruellest time
I'm feeling so alone in the darkness of my night.
I feel I want to ramble to the shores of the mighty sea
Pounding in my ears the wind so wild and free
To stumble in the high grass, the sand a-glowin' white
My eyes they feel, they break and spell the darkness of my night.
My sorrow is confusing, my love will never know
My empty hands they lie down by my sides so low
I walk this sleeping tunnel and the highway in-between bright
I'm feeling so alone in the darkness of my night.
Riding feathered wings to lick like I'm a dog
Oft I've heard the world as it cries out for some love
Cries out for someone, a little compassion and light
They're feeling so alone in the darkness of their night.

    Donovan, so underrated. One of the first to push psychedelia. He also was exploring world music decades before it became fashionable.

    too many years later to reply to comments, but there is a really great collection, "troubadour," that starts with an unreleased song "london town" and goes on through the man's whole career......i love it.....

    if you can find it, is well worth the price......i have just about every single thing ever recorded by donovan leitch, and handwritten letters from him......if you try, you can find out how to reach him personally, and if you do, he will reach back personally......wonderful man, wonderful music......wonderful wife as well........if you don't know the story, it's one that will not just melt your heart, but make his music even more meaningful.....

    thanks so much for the magic. I love Donovan his is such a Poet. A scottish prince of the english word. what a wonderful lp.. i must go out and get it now on CD. He is such a magical and enchanting creature. i saw him once in 70 in concert and he was just mesmerising. I dont think there is another artist like Donovan Leitch. I love him thanks for posting. I will go and buy the remaster cd.
