The Girl With April In Her Eyes
THERE ONCE WAS A KING WHO CALLED FOR
THE SPRING
DOR HIS WORLD WAS STILL COVERED IN SNOW
BUT THE SPRING HAD NOT BEEN
FOR HE WAS WICKED AND MEAN
IN HIS WINTERFIELDS NOTHING COULD GROW
AND WHEN A TRAVELLER CALLED SEEKING HELP
AT THE DOOR
ONLY FOOD AND A BED FOR THE NIGHT
HE ORDERED HIS SLAVE TO TURN HER AWAY
THE GIRL WITH APRIL IN HER EYES
OH OH OH ON AND ON SHE GOES
THROUGH THE WINTER'S NIGHT
THE WILD WIND AND THE SNOW
HI HI ON AND ON SHE RIDES
SOMEONE HELP THE GIRL WITH APRIL IN HER EYES
SHE RODE THROUGH THE NIGHT TILL SHE CAME
TO THE LIGHT
OF A HUMBLE MAN'S HOME IN THE WOODS
HE BROUGHT HER INSIDE BY THE FIRELIGHT
SHE DIED
AND HE BURIED HER GENTLY AND GOOD
OH THE MORNING WAS BRIGHT
ALL THE WORLD WAS SNOW WHITE
BUT WHEN HE CAME TO THE PLACE WHERE SHE LAID
HIS FIELD WAS ABLAZE WITH FLOWERS
ON THE GRAVE
OF THE GIRL WITH APRIL IN HER EYES
OH OH ON AND ON SHE GOES
THROUGH THE WINTER'S NIGHT THE WILD WIND
AND THE SNOW
HI HI ON AND ON SHE FLOWS
SHE IS GONE THE GIRL WITH APRIL IN HER EYES
