I once got to know a girl
I gave her flowers
I gave her words
but most of all I gave her songs and listened to them all,
it made me fall the high rock hill
danced this dream along,
she followed for a while
gone the wind and gone her springs
I loved her on the wire…

I once got to know a girl
her eyes were forged in fire,
fed her pages from the book to build up on desire
never told me what she took
purple heart was old and tired,
on the road the star went higher
shone me to the west…

I once got to know a girl never to forget
beat the rhythm in this cellar
something must’ve changed,
got to know that girl or so I’ve felt…
