Lyrics
Turquoise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your smile - beams like sunlight - on a gull's wing
And the leaves - dance and play - after you
Take my hand - and hold it - as you would a flower
Take care with my heart - oh darling - she's made of glass
Your eyes - feel like silence - resting on me
And the birds - cease to sing - when you rise
Ride easy - your fairy stallion - you have mounted
Take care how you fly - my precious - you might fall down
In the pastel skies - the sunset - i have wandered
With my eyes and ears and heart - strained to the full
I know i tasted the essence - in the few days
Take care who you love - my precious - he might not know
