What Are The Lyrics For The Ballad of Casey Deiss By Shawn Phillips?
T'was a man of youthful features
T'was a boy of sorrowful eyes Watching out by looking inward Tall and stately and full of life In his life, he spoke but rarely In his mind he cried for light Painting perceptions trying to capture That which he saw in his questioning strife Once in Lisbon, twice in London Traveling around for all of his time Looking for and finding a goddess He took Diana to be his wife Of the children, they'd begotten Two had died without knowing life And the third I know not whereof But if she lives, she will yet be kind Casey had a mark of simple value He had a star between his eyes In his hands he held an axe blade The Greek symbol of thunder and fire On a night when the heavens were crying He went out and took his blade Chopping wood to warm his heart side The lightning came and my brother died Bring him no wine from faraway vineyards Tell him no tales of the canyon's might But wish him peace and eternal wisdom For he has died and he died by light |
