[Verse 1]
When my love walks down the street
People stop and stare
People stop and stare
She often starts laughing
Out from the curls of her long hair
Out from the curls of her long hair
[Verse 2]
She's shy like a rainbow
But what she knows
But what she knows
She keeps most things deep down inside
Where they never show, where they never show
Where they never show, where they never show
[Verse 3]
Her eyes speak of sorrow
Of time gone by
Of time gone by
But when she smiles they sparkle
Like a dancing sun
When the water's wide, when the water's wide
When the water's wide
[Verse 4]
She has words to tell me
How much she cares
How much she cares
But the only word she ever says is
I'll be there, I'll be there
I'll be there, I'll be there
[Verse 5]
But when I'm [?] by myself
And I'm all alone
Far from home
I'd wonder what she's thinking of
By the time is gone, by the time is gone
By the time is gone
[Verse 6]
And I start my mind a-thinking
Of how it was
Of how it was
And I know I'll soon be seeing her
The one I love, the one I love
The one I love, I'm thinking of
[Verse 7]
And I set my night to resting
And my worried sleep
And my worried sleep
She would've loved me when the dawn breaks
When the shadows fly
When the shadows flee
[Outro]
Yes, she loved me when the dawn breaks
When the shadows fly
When the shadows flee
'Til I am free
