				                                   Anthem
                                 (Lord/Evans)
                       From "The Book of Taliesyn"; 1968






                                                        
When the night winds softly blow    through my open window

                                     
then I start to remember     	the girl that brought me joy

                                                        
Now the night winds softly blow     sadness to tomorrow

                                   
bringing tears to eyes so tired

         	     		
Eyes I thought could cry no more


Chorus:

                            (or )        
If the day would only come then you might just appear

                                              
even though you'd soon be gone when I reached out my hand

                              
If I could see you (ooohh ooooh)

                         	 
If only I could see you ooooh ooooh

                                  
To see if you are laughing or crying

                                        	
When the night winds       softly blow



                                      	             
In my dark and whispering room Memories still bring me 

                                      
a numbness to my feelings  	   Take my hand and brush my brow

                                	                  
In the warm and fevered dark Heart is madly beating

            		         
My crazy thoughts are burning

              	     
When the night winds softly blow



Chorus:

                            (or )          
If the day would only come then you might just appear

                                              
even though you'd soon be gone when I reached out my hand

                              
If I could see you (ooohh ooooh)

                         	 
If only I could see you ooooh ooooh

                                  
To see if you are laughing or crying

                                        	
When the night winds       softly blow
