Lyrics

Bolt and bar the shutters for the foul winds blow
Our minds are at their best this night and I seem to know
that everything outside us is Mad as the mist and snow
that everything outside us is Mad as the mist and snow
Horace by Homer stands, Plato stands below
And here is Tully's opened page - how many years ago
were you and I lads, Mad as the mist and snow?
were you and I lads, Mad as the mist and snow?
What makes me sigh, what makes me shudder so?
I shudder and I sigh to think that even Cicero
and many minded Homer were mad as the mist and snow
that Cicero and Homer were Mad as the mist and snow
that Cicero and Homer were Mad as the mist and snow
Written by: Mike Scott, Stephen Patrick Wickham, William Butler Yeats
