Syd Barrett

So, I spent my day listening to Syd Barrett music. It was the first time since Richard Wright died last year. The third time through The Madcap Laughs, I shed some tears during Dark Globe...

DARK GLOBE

Oh where are you now

pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?

When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart

my head kissed the ground

I was half the way down, treading the sand

please, please, lift a hand

I'm only a person whose arm bands beats

on his hands, hang tall

won't you miss me?

Wouldn't you miss me at all?

The poppy birds way

swing twigs coffee brands around,

brandish her wand with a feathery tongue

my head kissed the ground

I was half the way down, treading the sand

please, please, please lift the hand

I'm only a person with Eskimo chain

I tattooed my brain all the way...

Won't you miss me?

Wouldn't you miss me at all?
