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 ride, my precious, you might fall down





In the pastel skies a sunset I have wondered


With my eyes and ears and heart stained to the full


I know I tasted the essence in the few days


Take care who you love, my precious, he might not know
