Queen
White Queen (As It Began) [BBC Session/April 3rd 1974, Langham 1 Studio]
[Intro]
So sad, her eyes
Smiling, dark eyes
So sad, her eyes
As it began

[Verse 1]
On such a breathless night as this
Upon my brow, the lightest kiss
I walked alone
And all around the air did say
My lady soon will stir this way
In sorrow known

[Chorus 1]
The white queen walks and the night grows pale
Stars of lovingness in her hair

[Bridge]
Needing, unheard
Pleading, one word
So sad, my eyes
She cannot see

[Verse 2]
How did thee fare, what have thee seen
The mother of the willow green
I call her name
And 'neath her window have I stayed
I loved the footsteps that she made
And when she came
[Chorus 2]
White queen how my heart did ache
And dry my lips no word would make
So still I wait

[Verse 3]
My goddess hear my darkest fear
I speak too late
It's forevermore that I wait
Dear friend, goodbye
No tears in my eyes

[Outro]
So sad it ends
As it began
