Lyrics
Afghan Woman
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.
Afghan woman, deemed a princess
Born a true thoroughbred
Head a chilselled face of fables
Omed of no ill
Hills that spread around your chamber
Blooms that twine around your ears
Blossoms of the royalest texture angel of the years
Clad in sacks and scraps of linen
Living 'neath your waterwell
Praying that my youth pauper's face
Will quench you well
Gazelle girl striding through your palace
Precious jewels nestle in your hair
Rameses born with platignum future
Take my heart and care
