Concept, the music is a concept A boat beneath a sunny sky Lingering, in an evening of july Long, has paled sunny sky Echoes fade and the heroes die Alice is moving under skies Never seen by waking eyes Concept, the music is a concept Love was born of heavenly line Long undecided important choice The mother's heart is mine Till of the beauty sensual voice Of innocence the garb she tooks She gently pats the pony's side The blushing mien downcast he looks On which her idiot boy must ride In a wonder, wonderland they lie Dreaming as the days go by Dreaming as the summers die In these restrained and careful times Knowledge petrifies the rhymes For the reckless fire men had When it was witty to be mad Concept, the music is a concept Gods forbid it should be true The first word that susan said Cry baby, rising from her bed I'd gladly stay with you Of innocence the garb she tooks She gently pats the pony's side The blushing mien downcast he looks On which her idiot boy must ride Nothing that can ease my pain I should soon be back again And how she ran and how she walked And all that to herself she talked In great and small, in round and square It was alice, alice everywhere Oh, what a wretched mother i Here i will die, here i will die!
