WHITE QUEEN (As It Began)

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 sway
My lady soon will stir this way
In sorrow known
The White Queen walks and the night grows pale
Stars of lovingness 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 could make
So still I wait...

Dear friend - goodbye
No tears in my eyes
So said it ends
As it began

(Queen, 1974)
