Kevin Ayers Strange Song lyrics

Well, I met a traveler
Never did learn his name
His eyes were bright colored
But not both the same

He shook my hand warmly
I could tell he was strong
And he answered my questions
By singing this song

One find it, two lose it
Same everywhere
One make it, two take it
Mostly don't care

Well, it rained all that night
And in the morning, rain still
And I saw the traveler
At the top of the hill

He was laughing at the thunder
And banging a gong
And, at the top of his voice
He shouted his song

One find it, two lose it
Same everywhere
One make it, two take it
Mostly don't care

When the storm had died down
He came to my door
And he looked really happy
As he dripped on the floor


He said, "Please excuse me
But I won't stay long;
Just give me what you don't want
And then I'll move on, singing

One find it, two lose it
Same everywhere
One make it, two take it
Mostly don't care

Said, he had to keep going
But he didn't say where
When I offered him money
He refused with a glare

Then he roared out with laughter
As he picked up his gong
And he left without looking back
Singing his song

One find it, two lose it
Same everywhere
One make it, two take it
Mostly don't care

One find it, two lose it
Same everywhere
One make it, two take it
Mostly don't care
