Lyrics

Her face was crystal, fair, and fine

And her breath was morning and her lips were wine

And her eyes were laughter and her touch divine

And her face was crystal and she was mine

If only she could feel my pain

But feelin' is a burden she can't sustain

So like a summer Thursday, I cry for rain

To come and turn the ground to green again

If only she could hear my songs

About the empty difference 'tween rights and wrongs

Then I know that I could stand alone

As well as they now that she's gone

Her face was crystal, fair, and fine

And her breath was morning and her lips were wine

And her eyes were laughter and her touch divine

And her face was crystal and she was mine
