Silken-soft she rises from the dawn, child of spring

I've known her, oh, for so long

Creature of the earth but never to be wed

She's far too high for mortal's bed

So touch her now and love her while you can

Soon she'll travel on and join the wind



Often she'll be there as you are falling through your eyes

Revisiting some place in the past

And she leads you softly to the limits of your world

But you'll only see her face in a glass

Staring back with eyes that cannot see you

And yet you wish that yours were just as good



So touch her now and love her while you can

Soon she'll travel on and join the wind

Soon she'll travel on and join the wind

Soon she'll travel on and join the wind
