A gardener's daughter stopped me on my way, on the day I was to wed
|
It is you who I wish to share my body with she said
|
We'll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed
|
And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and star on his head.
|
Her silver hair flowed in the air laying waves across the sun
|
Her hands were like the white sands, and her eyes had diamonds on.
|
We left the road and headed up to the top of the Whisper Wood
|
And we walked 'till we came to where the holy magnolia stood.
|
And there we laid cool in the shade singing songs and making love...
|
With the naked earth beneath us and the universe above.
|
The time was late my wedding wouldn't wait I was sad but I had to go,
|
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheerio.
|
The wedding took place and people came from many miles around
|
There was plenty merriment, cider and wine abound
|
But out of all that I recall I remembered the girl I met
|
'Cause she had given me something that my hear could not forget.
|
A year had passed and everything was just as it was a year before...
|
As if was a year before...
|
Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door.
|
And in there lay the fairest little baby crying to be fed,
|
I got down on my knees and kissed the moon and star on his head.
|
As years went by the boy grew high and the village looked on in awe
|
They'd never seen anything like the boy with the moon and star before.
|
And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spread
|
I'll tell you everything I've learned, and Love is all...he said.
