LYRICS

TURQUOISE
Donovan
Your smile beams like sunlight on a gull's wing
And the leaves dance and play after you.
Take my hand and hold it as you would a flower.
Take care with my heart, oh darling, she's made of glass.

Your eyes feel like silence resting on me
And the birds cease to sing when you rise.
Ride easy your fairy stallion you have mounted.
Take care how you fly, my precious, you might fall down.

In the pastel skies the sunset I have wandered
With my eyes and ears and heart strained to the full,
I know I tasted the essence in the few days.
Take care who you love, my precious, he might not know.
