Lyrics

In a place far from here
Circled by mountains
Her skirts are raised;
She gently sways
And kings cannot relieve
Lady genevieve

Through a glass crystal sphere
Slowly revolving---
Her life is seen;
The blues are green
And holy man decieve
Lady genevieve

Butterfly to a pin
Frozen in final motion
Her colors fade
The bargain's made
Collectors have achieved
Lady genevieve

Night has come
So spread your wings
While they all are sleeping
Try the wind;
Your wings will mend
And happily conceive
Lady genevieve

Lady genevieve
Torn from the willow
Rest your head
And none shall ere recieve
My lady genevieve
