first off, word to songmeanings being back
van said that he wasn't even sure of the lyrics to this song. it could be "misty" instead of "mystic" at one point of the song. Also "younger than the sun" could be "...son", "born" in the first line could be "borne", and "Ere the bonny boat was won" could be "...one". At this point Van was writing lyrics placing the sound above content. This song was meant to be interpreted as the listener chooses to.
