Manfred Mann's Earth Band
"Eyes Of Nostradamus"

Al Stewart-Gwyneth Music Ltd.


At night... At night...
At night - they will think they have seen the sun
When they see the mad half-pig man
At night - screams, battles seen fought in the sky
And beasts will be heard to speak

Man, man your time is sand
Your ways are leaves upon the sea
I am the eyes of Nostradamus
All your ways are known to me

Think upon it - all of you who may read this verse
Listen and listen well
Think upon it - barbarians, idiots and fools stay far away

Man, man your time is sand
Your ways are leaves upon the sea
I am the eyes of Nostradamus
All your ways are known to me

Oh, I had a dream
I thought I was alone
And the veil of all the years
Fell from my eyes like a stone

From the Ground - the seven year child
And a fire will come to the earth
From the sky - at forty-five degrees
And the stone will crack with the force

Man, man your time is sand
Your ways are leaves upon the sea
I am the eyes of Nostradamus
All your ways are known to me

Oh, I had a dream
I thought I was alone
And the veil of all the years
Fell from my eyes like a stone

At night... at night...
Think upon it... think upon it...
At night... at night...
Think upon it... think upon it...
