lyrics

The Girl I Know

A girl I know was drowned in the sea I hear
The girl I know was drowned in the sea
The girl I know changed her name I hear
I don’t know what she became

The King of Keen chasing the Queen of ‘no’
The King of Keen courting the Queen
Out of reach, through distance and time
The boys I know all wasted her time

The mist won’t lift
On the tides of love affairs
And sand will shift
Through the glass and river bed

For the girl I know the flowers they come and go
For the girl I know the mourners grow old
The girl I know sent me the leaves to sow
So long ago but now so clear

And all I want
Is to make the world again
Rule time and sand and sea
And always save the girl

The girl I know, now Queen of the Sky round here
The girl I know now Queen of the Sky
