[00:56.15]When I was a girl I had a favourite story
[01:00.80]Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
[01:05.55]Her voice could match the angels in its glory
[01:10.19]But she was blind
[01:13.45]The lark was blind
[01:16.15]An old king came and took her to his palace
[01:20.36]Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid
[01:25.49]And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed
[01:34.83]Sing for me my meadowlark
[01:39.95]Sing for me of the silver morning
[01:44.61]Set me free my meadowlark
[01:49.87]And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
[01:52.11]And cloth of brocade and crewel
[01:54.64]And I'll love you for life if you will
[01:57.82]Sing for me
[02:01.36]Than one day as the lark sang by the water
[02:06.17]The God of the sun heard her in his flight
[02:11.16]And her singing moved him so he came and brought her
[02:15.59]The gift of sight
[02:18.78]He gave her sight
[02:20.70]And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
[02:25.28]Of this beautiful young god so proud and strong
[02:30.22]And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender
[02:34.72]Come along
[02:38.89]Fly with me my meadowlark
[02:44.13]Fly with me on the silver morning
[02:48.98]Past the sea where the dolphins bark
[02:53.95]We will dance on the coral beaches
[02:56.51]Make a feast of the plums and peaches
[02:58.73]Just as far as your vision reaches
[03:01.93]Fly with me
[03:06.00]But the meadowlark said no
[03:08.12]For the old king loved her so
[03:11.11]She couldn't bear to wound his pride
[03:15.41]So the sun God flew away and when the king came down that day
[03:20.68]He found his meadowlark had died
[03:24.76]Every time I heard that part I cried
[03:31.70]And now I stand here starry-eyed and stormy
[03:36.78]Oh just when I thought my heart was finally numb
[03:41.45]A beautiful young man appears before me
[03:45.74]Singing come
[03:48.96]Oh won't you come
[03:50.90]And what can I do if finally for the first time
[03:55.34]The one Im burning for returns the glow
[04:00.12]If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
[04:04.20]Still I know
[04:07.56]I've got to go
[04:09.28]Fly away meadowlark
[04:13.58]Fly away in the silver morning
[04:18.24]If I stay I'll grow to curse the dark
[04:22.98]So it's off where the days won't bind me
[04:25.49]I know I leave wounds behind me
[04:27.84]But I won't let tomorrow find me back this way
[04:33.92]Before my past once again can blind me
[04:46.92]Fly away
[04:55.57]And we won't wait to say goodbye
[05:02.50]My beautiful young man and I
