The Hedgehog’s Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Heron] I'm not the kind to complain That I never had a girl to love Many fine girl, I tried hard to know But I think I never tried enough [Verse 2: Mike Heron] Sitting one day by myself And I'm thinking, "What could be wrong?" When this funny little hedgehog comes running up to me And he starts up to sing me this song [Chorus: Mike Heron & Robin Williamson] "Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes But you never quite learned the song she sung I can tell by the sadness in your eyes That you never quite learned the song" [Verse 3: Mike Heron] Every day when the sun go down And the evening is so very still Many fine girl, I've held in my arms And I hope there's many more that I will [Verse 4: Mike Heron] But just when everything is going fine And absolutely nothing is wrong This funny little hedgehog's always around And every time he wants to sing me this song [Chorus: Mike Heron & Robin Williamson] "Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes But you never quite learned the song, she sung I can tell by the sadness in your eyes That you never quite learned the song" [Verse 5: Mike Heron] One day when the moon was full I thought I might settle down Found myself a pretty little girl And I stopped all my running around [Verse 6: Mike Heron] But just when the preacher come along And he's just gonna pop on the ring This funny little hedgehog comes running down the aisle And I don't have to tell you what he did sing [Chorus: Mike Heron & Robin Williamson] "Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes But you never quite learned the song she sung I can tell by the sadness in your eyes That you never quite learned the song" [Verse 1: Mike Heron] I'm not the kind to complain That I never had a girl to love Many fine girl, I've tried hard to know But I think I never tried enough [Verse 7: Mike Heron] But now I'll be looking all my days And it isn't just me I got to please There's this funny little hedgehog who's always around And the only words he ever sings to me are these [Chorus: Mike Heron & Robin Williamson] "Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes But you never quite learned the song, she sung I can tell by the sadness in your eyes That you never quite learned the song" [Outro: Mike Heron & Robin Williamson] I'm not the kind to complain
