(words & music by buffy sainte-marie)

You're not a dream

You're not an angel

You're a woman

I'm not a king,

I'm a man,

Take my hand

We'll make a space

In the lives that we planned

And here we'll stay

Until it's time for you to go



Yes, we're diff'rent worlds apart

We're not the same

We laughed and played

At the start like in a game

You could have stayed

Outside my heart

But in you came

And here you'll stay

Until it's time for you to go



Don't ask why,

Don't ask how

Don't ask forever,

Love me now



This love of mine

Had no beginning

It has no end

I was an oak,

Now i'm a willow

Now i can bend

And tho' i'll never

In my life see you again

I still stay

Until it's time for you to go
