White Queen (As It Began) (Live At Hammersmith Odeon, December 1975)
So sad her eyes Smiling dark eyes So sad her eyes As it began
On such a breathless night as this Upon my brow the lightest kiss I walked alone And all around the air did say My lady soon will stir this way In sorrow known The white queen walks and The night grows pale Stars of lovingmess in her hair
Needing - unheard Pleading - one word So sad my eyes She cannot see
How did thee fare, what have thee seen The mother of the willow green I call her name And 'neath her window have i stayed I loved the footsteps that she made And when she came White queen how my heart did ache And dry my lips no word would make So still i wait
My goddess hear my darkest fear I speak too late It's for evermore that i wait
Dear friend goodbye No tear in my eyes So sad it ends As it began
