Ballad of a Gherkin Soul

Procol Harum

Ballad of a Gherkin Soul (Rachel Victoria Dreamer)

i've been living high
upon the hill
where a sick man
calls the doctor ill

where the moving houses
of emotion
sway like petrels
on the ocean

i've been down
to stake my claim
with the wizards
of the game

one day i'll start
it all again
leave my rifle
in the rain

forget the colour
of the pill
that everybody
has to spill

until they call
the doctor ill
until they call
the doctor ill
