Once I smiled a smile so rare, loved a girl with golden hair Acted like a human boy that would pause on clouds of joy Ran through fields like a child of the ground kissed and touched with a silent sound Swung from trees like a monkey pup, saw the world from downside up
Then reality came crushing drowned my joy with human pain \"Don't go!\" \"Must go\" Never again!
Once I smiled a smile so rare, loved a girl with golden hair Ran through fields like a child of the ground kissed and touched with a silent sound Now inside I keep my pearl An image of a golden girl Locked away in a secret bard Covered and heard in a seashell heart
