White Queen (As It Began)

[Intro:]
So sad her eyes
Smiling dark eyes
So sad her eyes
As it began.

[Verse 1:]
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.

[Chorus]
The white queen walks and
The night grows pale
Stars of lovingness in her hair.

[Bridge:]
Needing unheard
Pleading one word
So sad my eyes
She cannot see.

[Verse 3:]
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.

[Chorus:]
White queen how my heart did ache
And dry my lips no word would make
So still I wait.

[Verse 4:]
My goddess hear my darkest fear
I speak too late
It's forevermore that I wait
Dear friend, goodbye
No tear in my eyes.

[Outro:]
So sad it ends
As it began.
