Now, now as the sun climbs the hills, Softly she skips on the sand, Daughter of the breeze Free, like the swifts of the sky, I see her, Dim, through the panes of my tears, I see her, Then she is here, mine, always around me – Mine till the morning mist comes. Now, now that the evening must fall, Weary, she sits by the river, Kind winds toss her hair, Free, like the swifts of the sky, I see her, Dim, through the panes of the tears, I see her. Then she is here, mine, always around me. Her warm touch, glad to have found me. Day-long – walking my kingdom, Her soft smile speaking of freedom. Now, now that the evening has gone, Deep in a slumber she lies, Golden hair to touch, Free, like the swifts of the sky, I see her. Dim, through the panes of my tears, I see her, Then she's no more than just an illusion, Mine till the morning mist comes.
