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
