Lady Helen of the Laughing Eyes

[Chorus]
Lady Helen of the laughing eyes
She will not steal your mind
Lady Helen of the laughing eyes
She will not be unkind

[Verse 1]
Silver bells and beaded bangles
Sounding out her name
Swinging from her watch-chain dangles
Her music plays again
She's a diamond-studded gypsy
She's a fallen star
Slipping through the mist so easy
Needn't reach too far

[Chorus]
Lady Helen of the laughing eyes
She will not steal your mind
Lady Helen of the laughing eyes
She will not be unkind

[Verse 2]
You will buy her flowers and presents
If you don't care at all
Speak her words and breathe her incense
Write her poems on the wall
Touch her hand and taste her breathing
Wonder can't be seen
She doesn't understand deceiving
Inside her woven dream

[Chorus]
Lady Helen of the laughing eyes
She will not steal your mind
Lady Helen of the laughing eyes
She will not be unkind

[Verse 3]
She's understanding, undemanding
Must you all be shown?
She won't sit and leave you standing
Her mind is all her own
She'll just do her best to please you
Searching all around
She'll love you hard, and then she'll leave you
Unfettered and unbound
