Cover art for Footsteps of the Heron lyrics by Incredible String Band

Sorry, but Songmeanings keeps posting different lyrics from the ones I posted for some strange reason. Here are the what they should be:

One day as I sat in a big noisy crowd? There was me and the whole of my conscience ?And I thought that I wouldn't be missed if I went ?And that my going would be of no importance

And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go ?I'm not in the slightest way upset ?I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan ?And I'm not even chasing the sunset

So I walked down this street I had no one to meet? And my thoughts kinda gently were flowing? When out popped this pussycat big as a lion And asked me just where I was going

And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go? I'm not in the slightest way upset? I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan ?And I'm not even chasing the sunset

The pussycat laughed and he followed me down? We walked through the crowds without motion? He said he would stay but he ran clean away? I just laughed at his lack of devotion

And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go ?I'm not in the slightest way upset ?I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan ?And I'm not even chasing the sunset

I met me this fink, tried to buy me a drink ?And he says, I don't care 'bout no money"? I said, "Neither do I, but I'd buy you a guy ?If I thought you were trying to get funny"

And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go ?I'm not in the slightest way upset ?I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan ?And I'm not even chasing the sunset

Ah this man I did meet, spoke to me through his feet? And he said, "I don't care either 'bout no money" ?I said, "Neither do I but I buy wings to fly ?'Cause without them the sun ain't so sunny"

And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go? I'm not in the slightest way upset ?I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan ?And I'm not even chasing the sunset

And I have no idea where the random question marks came from. Oh well.
