Harry Chapin - Legends Of The Lost And Found Song Lyrics

We are the lovers

We are bound to one another

By a bond that is invisible

Yet stronger still than time

And we're locked into the motion

That moves beneath the ocean

Rolling toward the future

That makes pain the only crime

Now I know you are the answer

You're the damsel and the dancer

The angel with the devil eyes

That knows about the beat

You remove the masks and faces

And you see the shadowed places

That only witches look for

In the cradle of the heat

Have you heard of the

Legend of the Lost and Found?

It tells of a world turnin' upside down

When all the kings have become the clowns

The beggars are crowned

The Legend of the Lost and Found

So I become the reacher

More the pilgrim than the preacher

The savage's been ravaged

By the visions of the smoke

As I'm peeling back the layers

To the passions of my prayers

I have seen the ramparts

Where the molten waters broke

Your heart's a sacred kingdom

That has colonized my soul

My past's the shattered fragment

That somehow you made whole

Today's your gift to fondle

Your offering to feel

Tomorrow is the promise

That somehow you've made real

Have you heard of the

Legend of the Lost and Found?

It tells of a world turnin' upside down

When all the kings have become the clowns

The beggars are crowned

The Legend of the Lost and Found

So l'll sing you every silly, sad

And happy song I know

And you'll open every part of you

That you've got left to show

And I'll pour myself around you

Like the sunshine drowns the field

And in the golden softness we will yield

And in the golden softness we will yield
