Lovely Creature
There she stands, this lovely creatureThere she stands, there she standsWith her hair full of ribbonsAnd green gloves on her handsSo I asked this lovely creatureYes, I asked. Yes I askedWould she walk with me a whileThrough this night so fastShe took my hand, this lovely creature"Yes", she said, "Yes", she said"Yes, I'll walk with you a while"It was a joyful man she ledOver hills, this lovely creatureOver mountains, over rangesBy great pyramids and sphinxsWe met drifters and strangersOh the sands, my lovely creatureAnd the mad, moaning windsAt night the deserts writhedWith diabolical thingsThrough the night, through the nightThe wind lashed and it whipped meWhen I got home, my lovely creatureShe was no longer with meSomewhere she lies, this lovely creatureBeneath the slow drifting sandsWith her hair full of ribbonsAnd green gloves on her hands
