Meadowlark [In The Style Of Sarah Brightman [00:00:00]
When I was a girl I had a favorite story[00:00:10]
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind[00:00:15]
Her voice could match the angels in its glory[00:00:19]
But she was blind the lark was blind[00:00:24]
An old king came and took her to his palace[00:00:29]
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid[00:00:34]
And he fed her fruit and nuts[00:00:39]
From an ivory chalice and he prayed[00:00:41]
"Sing for me my meadowlark[00:00:48]
Sing for me of the silver morning[00:00:53]
Set me free my meadowlark[00:00:58]
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel[00:01:03]
And cloth of brocade and cruel[00:01:06]
And I'll love you for life if you will sing for me"[00:01:08]
Then one day as the lark sang by the water[00:01:16]
The god of the sun heard her in his flight[00:01:21]
And her singing moved him so he came and brought her[00:01:25]
The gift of sight he gave her sight[00:01:30]
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendor[00:01:35]
Of this beautiful young god so proud and strong[00:01:40]
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender[00:01:45]
"Come along fly with me my meadowlark[00:01:50]
Fly with me on the silver morning[00:01:59]
Past the sea where the dolphins bark[00:02:04]
We will dance on the coral beaches[00:02:09]
Make a feast of the plums and peaches[00:02:12]
Just as far as your vision reaches fly with me"[00:02:14]
But the meadowlark said no for the old king loved her so[00:02:22]
She couldn't bear to wound his pride[00:02:27]
So the sun god flew away[00:02:32]
And when the king came down that day[00:02:34]
He found his meadowlark had died [00:02:37]
Every time I heard that part I cried[00:02:42]
And now I stand here starry-eyed and stormy[00:02:49]
Oh just when I thought my heart was finally numb[00:02:53]
A beautiful young man appears before me[00:02:58]
Singing "Come oh won't you come "[00:03:03]
And what can I do if finally for the first time[00:03:08]
The one I'm burning for returns the glow[00:03:13]
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time[00:03:18]
Still I know I've got to go[00:03:23]
Fly away meadowlark[00:03:28]
Fly away in the silver morning[00:03:32]
If I stay I'll grow to curse the dark[00:03:37]
So it's off where the days won't bind me[00:03:42]
I know I leave wounds behind me[00:03:45]
But I won't let tomorrow find me back this way[00:03:47]
Before my past once again can blind me fly away[00:03:55]
And we won't wait to say goodbye[00:04:20]
My beautiful young man and I[00:04:30]
