New Day

Revolution convolution,
Circles around the town.
Give us all some time to think,
Please let us all come down.

Not what you say and not what you hear,
Not who you love and not who you fear;
What you feel is real,
What you feel is real.

Just behind the yawning morning,
Look and there's a new day dawning.
Just behind your shying crying,
Look and there's a new year lying.

Not what you say and not what you hear,
Not who you love and not who you fear;
What you feel is real,
What you feel is real.

Save your days and save your time,
You save yours and I'll save mine.
Drink your water, drink your wine,
You drink yours and I'll drink mine.

Not what you say and not what you fear,
Not who you love and not who you hear;
What you feel is real,
What you feel is real.

Revolution convolution,
Circles around the town.
Give us all some time to think,
Please let us all come down.

Not what you say and not what you hear,
Not what you love and not what you fear;
What you feel is real,
What you feel is real.

Not what you say and not what you hear,
Not who you love and not who you hear;
What you feel is real,
What you feel is real.

sitenote: the second verse is extremely blurry.

This is a typical example of John the Socialist; this used to be rather common in those days, especially in folk circles.
