1
I was just a boy when I sat down
2
To watch the news on tv
3
I saw some ordinary slaughter
4
I saw some routine atrocity
5
My father said, don't look away
6
You got to be strong, you got to be bold, now
7
He said, that in the end it is beauty
8
That is going to save the world, now
9
And she moves among the sparrows
10
And she floats upon the breeze
11
She moves among the flowers
12
She moves something deep inside of me
13
I was walking around the flower show like a leper
14
Coming down with some kind of nervous hysteria
15
When I saw you standing there, green eyes, black hair
16
Up against the pink and purple wisteria
17
You said, hey, nature boy, are you looking at me
18
With some unrighteous intention?
19
My knees went weak,
20
I couldn't speak, I was having thoughts
21
That were not in my best interests to mention
22
And she moves among the flowers
23
And she floats upon the smoke
24
She moves among the shadows
25
She moves me with just one little look
26
You took me back to your place
27
And dressed me up in a deep sea diver's suit
28
You played the patriot, you raised the flag
29
And I stood at full salute
30
Later on we smoked a pipe that struck me dumb
31
And made it impossible to speak
32
As you closed in, in slow motion,
33
Quoting Sappho, in the original Greek
34
She moves among the shadows
35
She floats upon the breeze
36
She moves among the candles
37
And we moved through the days
38
And through the years
39
Years passed by, we were walking by the sea
40
Half delirious
41
You smiled at me and said, Babe
42
I think this thing is getting kind of serious
43
You pointed at something and said
44
Have you ever seen such a beautiful thing?
45
It was then that I broke down
46
It was then that you lifted me up again
47
She moves among the sparrows
48
And she walks across the sea
49
She moves among the flowers
50
And she moves something deep inside of me
51
She moves among the sparrows
52
And she floats upon the breeze
53
She moves among the flowers
54
And she moves right up close to me
