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 tranquility.
'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love,

Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love.


Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity

The crying of humanity.
'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love,

Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love.


Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.

Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Here comes the roly poly man and he's singing songs of love,
Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly, poly he sang.

Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang,
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.


Additional Verse:

When the truth gets buried deep

Beneath the thousand years of sleep
Time demands a turn-around
And once again the truth is found

Awakening the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Who comes singing songs of love.
