Once she came into my room, feathered hat and all Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped around her shoulders Two eyes like lights, milky marble whites looking up at me
Looking for a way
Moons in an endless day And all I knew was with her then No couldn´t see the time, as we drank down the wine To the last sweet scarlet
How was I to wonder why, or even question this? Underneath her kiss, I was so unguarded Every bottle´s empty now and all those dreams are gone Ah, but the song carries on so holy
She was so much younger then, wild like the wind, a gypsy with a grin From an old far away country but deep beneath her curls
Beneath this misty pearl there was more to see She could move mountains in the dark, as silent as a knife She cut loose a life that she never, never really wanted All those days are frozen now and those scars are gone Ah, but the song carries on so holy
Come let us drink before the second show I want you to know there´s no bridge between us All those gates have opened now, and though the light has shone Ah, but the song carries on so holy.
