Now Be Thankful Lyrics

When the stone is grown too cold to kneel
In crystal waters I'll be bound
Cold as stone, weary to the sounds upon the wheel

Now be thankful for good things below
Now be thankful to your maker
For the rose, the red rose blooms for all to know

When the fire is grown too fierce to breathe
In burning irons I'll be bound
Fierce as fire, weary to the sounds upon the wheel

Now be thankful for good things below
Now be thankful to your maker
For the rose, the red rose blooms for all to know

When the stone is grown too cold to kneel
In crystal waters I'll be bound
Cold as stone, weary to the sounds upon the wheel

Now be thankful for good things below
Now be thankful to your maker
For the rose, the red rose blooms for all to know

Cover art for Now Be Thankful lyrics by Fairport Convention

No idea what this is about but I would be surprised if there is a religious approach. Religion is mostly lost in the world view of that generation in 1970. In other work by these songsmiths, as far as I know, there is no mention of religion around that period. Around that time, the many images are often still in an unclear psychedelic atmosphere. Please feel free to find in it what you are looking for.

Kind regards, Geert Cautereels
