Shepherd (BBC Nightride 1970) - Genesis
Rise up take your lyre and sing
Listen to the news I bring
Frosty breath on the window
See a friend in the snow that gently falls
Feel the truth in those sad eyes
See the smile thats so rare
Just like the love
She waits for
And she plays a game of her own
As she sleeps within the firelight
For her dreams are incredibly wild
But theyre lost and gone forever with the dawn
Fair and friend of the fleece spoke
Warrior bold shepherd wise fair prince of peace
Someone waits in the doorway
On a white horse he comes and holds out the hand
She waits for
So they ride through a valley of mist
To a castle in the heavens
Where he lays her down to rest
But hes lost and gone forever with the dawn
See her writhe in her dream then
Mermaids sing in the sunset
Sadly asking if beauty ever walks free
But queen frost only whispers
Maidens you will remain to be free
See her writhe in her dreams
Lord of the seven sons
Keeper of the keys of time
