[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
So touch her now
And love her while you can
Soon she'll travel on
And join the wind
[Verse 2]
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 a world
But you'll only see her face in a glass
[Chorus 2]
Staring back
With eyes that cannot see you
And yet, you wish that yours
Were just as good
[Outro]
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
