Legends of the Lost and Found Lyrics

Harry Chapin

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
