Intro:
So sad, her eyes
Smiling, dark eyes
So sad, her eyes
As it began
Verse 1:
On such a breathless night as this
Upon my brow, the lightest kiss
I walked alone
Verse 2:
And all around the air did say
My lady soon will stir this way
In sorrow known
Bridge:
The white queen walks
And the night grows pale
Stars of lovingness in her hair
Chorus:
Needing, unheard
Pleading, one word
So sad, my eyes
She cannot see
Verse 3:
How did thee fare, what have thee seen
The mother of the willow green
I call her name
Verse 4:
And ‘neath her window have I stayed
I loved the footsteps that she made
And when she came
Bridge:
White queen how my heart did ache
And dry my lips no word would make
So still I wait
Instrumental break
Bridge:
My goddess hear my darkest fear
I speak too late
It’s forevermore that I wait
Dear friend, goodbye
No tears in my eyes
Outro:
So sad it ends
As it began
