Legend of a Girl Child Linda

Lyrics

I will bring you gold apples and grapes made of rubies That have shone in the eyes of a prince of the breeze Bright cascading crystals, they dance in the sand dunes On the beach of no footprints to harpsichord tunes [Verse 2] A throne of white ivory, a gown of white lace Lies still in the magic of a timeless place One hundred small children, they laugh at the white doves That rest on their hands with the touch of love [Verse 3] And the sound of their laughter is the sound of the green sea As it's washed 'round the foot of the seashell tree If you follow the sunbeam through the valley of flowers In the palace of the White Queen with its white jade towers [Verse 4] From out of the sun a giant gull came flying And the children got ready to sit on its wing They waved to the raindrops as they soared in the trees And the wind tossed their hair high, flashing gold on the seas [Verse 5] They came to the castle, and there they did fall When they saw all the sadness through the crystal wall The clash of bright metal brought the children fear But their cloaks of blue satin dried up all of the tears [Verse 6] The children held hands and spelt the princess's name All the golden children became a golden chain It lies in the white throne in the magic place With a tunic of velvet and a gown of white lace [Verse 7] Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh My sword, it lies broken and cast in a lake In the dream I was told that my princess would wake
