I Can’t See You Lyrics
Tim Buckley
Summer princess, midnight maiden
When I first saw you I just breathed
Into your smile my past went fadin
Inside your voice, my mind was sheathed
In lost lagoon, we waited, wadin
Along the streets we went paradin
Never looking back to where wed been
Autumn temptress, sundown angel
Inside your blood you arent so young
I came to you a loving vandal
And heard your heart and touched your tongue
Day became a lighted candle
Sky fell down beneath your sandal
In your eye I began to spin
Winter harlot, moontime lover
I cant speak when I feel this way
Dont keep your feelings undercover
Tell me what you want today
Dont leave me in the air to hover
Sing it out dont make me suffer
Dont be ashamed love is no sin
Springtime woman, sunrise girl
I am hiding behind the sea
Trick or treat, the halloween world
Hide and seek but you cant catch me
I wont chase you until you hurl
Your wing to me, and make me twirl
Youre alive underneath my skin
