Lyrics

Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I open my eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquillity
Then the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
That's when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Here comes the Hurdy Gurdy Man singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy man
Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity
Then the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
That's when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang
Here comes the Hurdy Gurdy Man singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy man
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang
Here comes the Hurdy Gurdy Man singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy man
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang
Here comes the Hurdy Gurdy Man and he's singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy man
Here comes the Hurdy Gurdy Man singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang
Here comes the Hurdy Gurdy Man singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy man
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang
Here comes the Hurdy Gurdy Man singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy man
