Joan Baez - Turquoise lyrics

(Donovan Leitch)

1- 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

2- 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

4- 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
