Baroquen Spirits

ALSO RELEASED ON: Siege At Elsinore, Four Track Motorola, '66 Corolla

Version 1 is a full studio recording

Note that the French MGM LP was pressed with a slightly faster play speed, so the song is a little shorter

So Long Ago The Garden [MGM, Phydeaux and Myrrh LPs]

Version 2 is a full studio recording. It is approximately two minutes shorter than the album version, with a truncated introduction, an earlier fade out, and some cut and pasting in the middle. An edit point is audible immediately prior to the lyrics "Give me your love"

lyrics version 1

Waiting around since last night, sitting in your garden chair
When you decide to come home I suppose I'll still be there

(Ooh ooh ooh) Everything comes to the man who waits for everything to come
But what (Ah ah ah) can he do when the thing he wants the most he's farthest from

Yes I guess I see your point
Patience growing thin
How can you respect a man
Who needs you more than you need him
Baroquen spirits do you love me
Baroquen spirits I can't say
Baroquen spirits do you love me
Baroquen spirits I can't say

Give me your love or let go, but don't play with my affairs
(Ah ah ah) Kiss me goodbye or hello, but don't take lightly what we share

Yes I guess I see your point
Patience growing thin
How can you respect a man
Who needs you more than you need him
Baroquen spirits do you love me
Baroquen spirits I can't say
Baroquen spirits do you love me
Baroquen spirits I can't say

(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
What will I do if you tell me that you love me not at all
(Ooh ooh ooh) I'll charter a ship to the edge of the world and sail off

Yes I guess I see your point
Patience growing thin
How can you respect a man
Who needs you more than you need him
Baroquen spirits do you love me (do you love me)
Baroquen spirits I can't say
Baroquen spirits (oh baby do you love me) do you love me (do you love me)
Baroquen spirits I can't say

All right

Baroquen spirits (ah ah ha) do you love me
Baroquen spirits (ah ha ha) I can't say (I can't say)
Baroquen spirits (ah ah ha) do you love me (do you love me)
Baroquen spirits I can't say (Alright baby say)

Baroquen spirits do you love me (d'd'd'd'd'd' do you love me)
Baroquen spirits (baby baby I can't say) I can't say (alright)
Baroquen spirits (ah ah ah-yeah) do you love me (do you love me)
Baroquen spirits (alright ah ah ha) I can't say (ah ah ha)

Baroquen spirits (ah ha ha do you love me) do you love me
Baroquen spirits I can't say (oh baby I can't say)
(I wanna get down to it I really love you, do you love me)
Baroquen spirits I can't say
(I'm gonna get down) Baroquen
