EMERSON LAKE & PALMER - TAKE A PEBBLE ( album version) HQ sound

Details

Description

This is the full 12 1/2 min. composition from their first album ELP. It is my favorite ELP composition with an awesome piano solo, fantastic drumming, and one of Greg Lake's strongest and moving vocals.


Just take a pebble and cast it to the sea,
Then watch the ripples that unfold into me,
My face fills so gently into your eyes,
Disturbing the waters of our lives.

Shreds of our memories are lying on your grass;
Wounded words of laughter are graveyards of the past.
Photographs are grey and torn, scattered in your fields
Letters of your memories are not real.

Wear sadness on your shoulders like a worn out overcoat
In pockets creased and tattered hang the rags of your hope.
The daybreak is your midnight; the colours have all died.
Disturbing the waters of our lives, of our lives, of our lives, lives,
lives, lives...
Of our lives.
