Listen, learn, read on

Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord and Rod Evans

In ages past when spells were cast in a time of men in steel
When a man was called no special name it was all done by feel

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page - Read the book of Taliesyn!
Hear the song of lovely Joan, her sound so sweet and clear
In the courtroom of the king among children and the peers

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page - Read the book of Taliesyn!
Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn
On the foaming beach of the ocean in the day of trouble
I shall be of more service to thee than three hundred senates

The hare, he bounds across the page past castles white and fair
Two dreaming chessmen on their boards with a fool's mate as a snare

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page - Read the book of Taliesyn!

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page - Read the book of Taliesyn!
Three times I have been warned - I know this from meditation

The bird he flies the distance from pages two to six
Past minstrels in their boxes to the water on the sticks

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page - Read the book of Taliesyn!
Don't take the pictures lightly, listen to their sound
For from their coloured feeling experience is found

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page - Read the book of Taliesyn!
All the sciences of the world are collected in my breasts
For I know what has been what is now and what hereafter will occur
