Guffer Lyrics

winter's melted into spring
brings catepiller creeps in slowly, lowly
you know, he's inches away through wedded green thing
until it builds a lonely room
he's gonna sleep like death in a homemade tomb
then once I took a look away that brown cocoon
the silent pleasure to my eyes
beautiful butterfly
oh, won't you flutter, flutter by my way?
won't you decorate my day?
and the seasons keep turning around
for the reasons have yet to be found
and the world is turning on
and when something's gone
you know it's something's coming
it's something's coming
when something's gone, something's coming
when something's gone, something's coming
something's coming
he's got dirt in his hair and his eyes and his ears
don't you put him down
frayed teeth frightened my leaves
well, it's been up to seven years in this town
it's autumn
he's must have dust a chance enough a
poor old guffer, nobody loves ya
let him go and didn't seek
and now he's only left with tobacco
weaken through his skin
times would have been, guffer gonna die soon
and a newborn baby gonna cry soon, way soon
and the seasons keep turning around
for the reasons have yet to be found
and the world is turning on
and when something's gone,
you know it's something's coming
it's something's coming
when something's gone, something's coming
when something's gone, something's coming
when something's gone, something's coming
when something's gone, something's coming
when something's gone,
something's hanging round the corner
when something's gone, something's coming
something's coming

Linda Lewis (born Linda Ann Fredericks), 27 September 1950, West Ham, London) is an English pop and soul vocalist, a songwriter and guitar player, renowned for her vocals.

Possessing a five-octave vocal range, Lewis built her reputation as a singer joining the British group Ferris Wheel in 1967. When the group disbanded in 1970, she went on to pursue a solo career.
A self-taught guitarist and keyboard player, Lewis was heavily influenced by Stevie Wonder and also drew inspiration from Joni Mitchell among others. With her blend of soul, folk, pop and reggae, she helped paved the way for today's artists like Des'ree and India.Arie.

But after over a decade of non-stop touring, performing and recording, Lewis went on hiatus during the 1980s, spending over ten years in Los Angeles out of the public eye.

Since 2006 Lewis has returned to the spotlight with a newly released album, Live in Old Smokey, which featured a string of new songs and previously released ones that have been re-recorded and she has been touring England. She has also collaborated with contemporary artists such as Basement Jaxx. Read more on Last.fm.
