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
