LYRICS
Pluckin’ all day on my angel’s harp
Pluckin’ all day on my angel’s harp
Shouting at the rising moon
Knowing that I will soon sting
At the edge of the plain, at the top of the scarp
I’m pluckin’ all day on my angel’s harp
Though you made me a buffoon
You did not hear the words that I did croon
I’m pluckin’ all day on my angel’s harp
I knew you’d finally come around
Won’t you please enjoy the sound?
I didn’t sing flat and I didn’t sing sharp
I’m pluckin’ all day on my angel’s harp
And when I saw your eyes of brown
I pulled the bow and low I cut you down
At the edge of the plain, at the top of the scarp
This is where we all will fall
This is what we shall call kill
Pluckin’ all day on an angel’s harp
The resonator is sounding dark
Though you might be walking tall
Everybody got to learn to crawl
Pluckin’ all day on my angel’s harp
Pluckin’ all day on my angel’s harp
This is where I’m jumping off
This is where I sail aloft
