A gardener's daughter stopped me on my way on the day I was to wed
It is you who I wish to share my body with she said
And for my joy I will give you a boy with the moon and star on his head
We'll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed
Her hands were like the white sands, and her eyes had diamonds on.
Her silver hair flowed in the air laying waves across the sun
Ande we walked 'till we came to where the holy magnolia stood.
With naked earth beneath us and the universe above
We left the road and headed up to the top of the Whisper Wood
And there we laid cool in the shade singing songs and making love...
The time was late and wedding wouldn't wait I was sad but I had to go,
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheerio
The wedding took place and people came from many miles around
But out of all that I recall I remembered the girl I met
There was plenty merriment, cider and wine abound
A year had passed and everything was just as it was a year before...
'Cause she had givien me soemthing that my heart could not forget.
As it wwas a year before...
Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door.
And in there lay the fairest little baby crying to be fed.
As years went by the boy grew high and the village looked on in awe
They'd never seen anything like the boy with the moon and star before.
And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spread
I got down on my knees and kissed the moon and star on his head.
I'll tell you everything I've learned , and Love is all..... he said
