Lyrics for Faraway Tom by Unknown:
| | | Artist: | Unknown |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Faraway Tom | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 167 | | | | Lyrics: | FARAWAY TOM
When the calendar brings in the cuckoo
And the summer comes following
on
And the thin mists of day see him running away
And they know him as Faraway
Tom
The earth is his bed and his pillow
And his sheets are the clothes he has
on
He spends all afternoon hunting the moon
Till it rises for Faraway Tom
He
sees the fox leaving his hollow
And he know where the badger is gone
He watches the fawn
in the sheltering thorn
But they don't see old Faraway Tom
He knows nothing of
letters or learning
And of manners and such he has none
He numbers the seasons on finger
and toes
As they pass over Faraway Tom
But what of the winters to follow
Will
age and cold wind bring him down
And where will he lie when snow fills the sky
And the
years tell on Faraway Tom
sung by Jean Redpath
