Let her cry
For she's a lady
Let her dream
For she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free gentle flower
Growing wild
And if by chance that I
Should hold her
Let me hold her
For a time
And if allowed but one possession
I will pick her from the garden
To be mine
Be careful how you touch her
For she'll awaken
For sleep's the only freedom
That she knows
And when you look into her eyes
You won't believe
The way she's always payin'
For a debt she never owes
And for the silent wind still blows
That only she can hear
And so she goes
