(S. Goodwin/R. Furay/J. Messina) 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 So touch her now and love her while you can Soon she'll travel on and join the wind 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 gla** Staring back with eyes that cannot see you And yet you wish that yours were just as good 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
