White Queen (As It Began) [BBC Session/April 3rd 1974, Langham 1 Studio]

Lyrics

[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 1] 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 2] 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 2] White queen how my heart did ache And dry my lips no word would make So still I wait [Verse 3] My goddess hear my darkest fear I speak too late It's forevermore that I wait Dear friend, goodbye No tears in my eyes [Outro] So sad it ends As it began
