[Vinyl/27-Images/WAV] Turquoise - Joan Baez Your eyes beam like sunlight on the gull's wings And the leaves dance and play after you Take my hand and hold it as you would a flower Take care with my heart, oh, darling, she's made of glass Your eyes feel like sunlight resting on me And the birds cease to sing when you rise Ride easy your fairy stallion you have mounted Take care how you fly, my precious, you might fall down In the pastel shades of sunlight I have wandered With my eyes, my ears, my heart strained to the full I know I've tasted the essence in those few days Take care who you love, oh, darling, he might not know Songwriter: Donovan Leitch © Peermusic Publishing,Universal Music Publishing Group [Lyrics from LyricFind] Wikipedia states: Joan is a 1967 album by Joan Baez. Having exhausted the standard voice/guitar folksong format by 1967, Baez collaborated with composer Peter Schickele (with whom she'd worked on the 1966 Christmas album, Noël), on an album of orchestrated covers of mostly then-current pop and rock and roll songs. Works by Donovan, Paul Simon, Tim Hardin, the Beatles, and Richard Fariña were included, as well as selections by Jacques Brel and Edgar Allan Poe. The recording of "Children of Darkness" was a tribute to Baez's brother-in-law, novelist and musician Richard Fariña, who had been killed in a motorcycle accident a year earlier. "La Colombe" is a French anti-war anthem about French soldiers being sent to fight Algeria in the latter country's bid for independence. The 2003 Vanguard reissue contains two bonus tracks: "Oh, Had I a Golden Thread" and "Autumn Leaves".
