Lyrics

She chose to walk to day
Toes closed in shoes
And the walking may
Have lightened her blues

She sits now in the living room
Rubbing her feet
Her face glows in the dusky gloom
With a light so sweet

High Lords and Heroes, All hands in flight
Good Kings and Pharaohs always travel light, but
Down where the world turns
She yearns to get it right
As she bends to that weight
And sobs in the night
Always follow her to the light

And it’s a part of her
Like her arms and her hair
That she has given birth
That she can care

And it’s a part of her
Like her hands and her laugh
That she has lost herself
And looked at death

(chorus)

Touching a dear friend’s heart
Then holding three or four
Takes the strength of ten men…
Maybe more

Watch how she smiles at you
Look at her eyes
You can swim in there
Where no one dies

(chorus)
