Talisman - The Guess Who

Letra de Talisman

(Lyric and music by Burton Cummings, Randy Bachman)

Video Audio

Trinket worn with colors matching 

saddened eyes has lost its magic touch

People from a distant hill 

have crossed an ever-stretching sea of sand.

Artificial flowers cannot die for life within them 

is illusion

Talisman, talisman grace my hand

Talisman grace my hand.

Figures made of pedigrees 

control the non-existent soul of John Smith

Walk the creature let it run 

but slacken not the rope to which it's bound.

Ships in bottles cannot sail and neither can a tombstone

kill a feather

Talisman, talisman grace my hand

Talisman grace my hand.

Kings are nothing more without 

the glory and the wealth behind their thinking

Let me feel the choice of seeing 

dawn or setting sun before I die.

Myriads of painted faces rush behind the eye 

of the uncertain

Talisman, talisman grace my hand

Talisman grace my hand.

Let me live only to do

And let me do only to live

My steel image comes with the sun

And that's where it slumbers now.

Talisman, talisman grace my hand

Talisman grace my hand.
