Syd Barrett - Swan Lee (Silas Lang) Lyrics
Swan Lee got up at the Running Foot pow-wow,
heading from the fire to his waiting canoe.
Chattering Squaw untied the wigwam door,
the chief blew smoke rings two by two!
Swan Lee, his boat by the bank in the darkness,
loosened the rope in the creek is entwined.
A feather from the wing of a wild young eagle,
pointed to the land where his fortune he'd find
The land in silence stands
Swan Lee paddled on from the land of his fathers,
his eyes scanned the undergrowth on either side.
tropic, Swan Lee had a bow by his side
The land in silence stands
Swan Lee kept time, half on land, half on water,
Grizzly bear and raccoon his fare.
He followed his ears to the great water fall,
Swan Lee knew deep down that his squaw was there!
The land in silence stands....
Suddenly the rush of the mighty great thunder,
confronted Swan Lee as his song he sang,
In the dawn, with his squaw, he was battling homewards
It was all written down by Long Silas Lang.
The land in silence stands...
The land in silence stands...
The land in silence stands.

Thank you for this! SYD!
sounds like a Strat
My favorite Syd Barrett song of all time. Always makes me want to drive to the desert. Thanks for uploading!
Paddle on Swan Lee. I’ll miss you Syd.
The land in silence stands...
Years ago I always thought he said, " The London silence stands".
very cool tune by the coolest of cats
sounds like a train rythem at the background
Great to see not a single down thumb! (for now...)
This is great. Sounds like something The Mighty Boosh would sing.
Both a catchy tune, and musical
anarchy at the same time. Only Syd.
shhhh....I'm waiting for the scotch to work....
ahhh there it is
now for some THC 😎
I love Syd
