She Comes And Goes

The most beautiful woman I know
cannot be had
she’s a secret smile on an ancient face
she’s a photograph
she’s a brand new dawn, a rising sun
she’s a withered rose
she’s a restless dream, deja vu
she comes and goes
she comes and goes.

The most beautiful woman I know
I’ve never had
while I cling to her sisters she shadow dances
beyond my grasp
when I follow her up to the mountain top
she’s the river below
from the valley floor she’s the shifting sky
she comes and goes
she comes and goes

I believe someday we’ll meet
in another land
we’ll rise and fall, we’ll have it all
we’ll go hand in hand
until that time of peace and love
this much I know
I’ll spend my days wondering why
she comes and goes
she comes and goes
she comes and goes
she comes and goes....
