the silver lady-suzanne vega[00:00:02]

When I was a little girl[00:00:03]

Younger than nine or ten[00:00:11]

I once spoke to the Silver Lady[00:00:17]

But I never saw her again.[00:00:20]

To me she flew out of the sky[00:00:33]

She was born riding on the water[00:00:38]

Her hair blew all around her[00:00:45]

She was the crazy man's only daughter.[00:00:49]

I used to see her every day[00:00:52]

Riding her golden pony[00:01:01]

Only once did I hear her laugh[00:01:07]

And it echoed far and lonely.[00:01:12]

Once I watched the river run[00:01:19]

And I wandered too far from home[00:01:23]

There I met the Silver Lady[00:01:30]

She was crying, all alone.[00:01:32]

I said, 'Lady, why are you crying?[00:01:45]

If I had wings like you[00:01:51]

I would be flying over this river[00:01:56]

And singing like only birds do.'[00:02:01]

Well she threw back her head and she smiled at me[00:02:07]

Her tears, how they shone in the sun[00:02:13]

She said, 'I have no wings to fly with[00:02:18]

If I did I would surely be gone.[00:02:23]

'My brothers have all gone far away[00:02:29]

To follow their hearts and be free[00:02:33]

But I am the youngest and my father is ageing[00:02:40]

And all he's got left is me.[00:02:46]

'I love my father dearly[00:02:57]

Madman though he may be[00:03:01]

It would break his heart if I should leave him[00:03:08]

But this life is killing me.[00:03:14]

'I feel the ocean pulling me[00:03:16]

The breezes come and tell me things[00:03:25]

and i want to go with them wherever they go[00:03:30]

And see what the new morning brings.'[00:03:36]

and she sadly turned away from me[00:03:40]

and I stumbled my way back home[00:03:45]

The next day I heard she had taken her horse[00:03:50]

And gone off to parts unknown.[00:03:58]

Her father stayed inside his lonely house[00:04:09]

And he never more came into town[00:04:14]

He could be seen roaming the riverside[00:04:20]

And they say that he jumped in and drowned.[00:04:25]

Long though I waited, she never returned[00:04:31]

But when I felt a silver breeze[00:04:37]

I knew she had sent it from wherever she was[00:04:43]

To tell us that now she was free.[00:04:48]
