Hawkwind - Cymbaline Lyrics
The path you tread is narrow and the drop is shear and very high
The ravens all are watching from a vantage point near by
Apprehension creeping like a tube-train up your spine
Will the tightrope reach the end? Will the final couplet rhyme?
And it's high time, Cymbaline
Please wake me
Butterfly with broken wings has fallen by your side
The ravens all are closing in there's nowhere you can hide
Your manager and agent are both busy on the phone
Selling coloured photographs to magazines back home
And it's high time, Cymbaline
High time, Cymbaline
Please wake me
The leaves are heavy around your feet; you hear the thunder of the train
Suddenly it strikes you that they're moving into range
And Doctor Strange is always changing sides
And it's high time, Cymbaline
High time, Cymbaline
Please wake me

Hawkwind Cymbaline Comments
This version is like if Syd recorded it, fuck floyd post saucer
When Gods cover Gods.
Its an interesting cover... more errie then the original 💟❣
What's more eerie than the reverb heavy vocals and the organ ending from the original?
@Syfoll This Hawkwind version is excellent, but I prefer Pink Floyd's still.... in part because of that stronger ending.
Reminds me of David Bowie. Another rising early 70s performer. Also played with Hawkwind at the Atomic Sunrise Festival March 11th 1970.
How can ALL the songs be credited to Brock or the Band when this is Pink Floyds song lol
Cymbaline wasn't on the original release. It was added as a bonus track on the CD reissue.
Me hace crer que el cover es de Pink -floyd
I will probably be shot down in flames, but I prefer this to Pink Floyds origional.
I will shoot you down in flames
