There's a gay girl laughing.
There's a gay girl laughing
For pleasure of the sky,
Oh, laughing low and tenderly
In love of soft-breathed sigh
Of wind and greying shadows,
That incorporeal lie
Across sun-ardent grasses
Where bird wings poise and fly.
For pleasure of the sky,
Oh, laughing low and tenderly
In love of soft-breathed sigh
Of wind and greying shadows,
That incorporeal lie
Across sun-ardent grasses
Where bird wings poise and fly.
There's a woman very sorrowful
As empty days go by,
Uncounted hours watched hopelessly
By heart too hurt to cry;
There's a gay girl laughing
For joy of earth and sky,
And a woman dumbly sorrowful,
Who am I ... Who am I ..
As empty days go by,
Uncounted hours watched hopelessly
By heart too hurt to cry;
There's a gay girl laughing
For joy of earth and sky,
And a woman dumbly sorrowful,
Who am I ... Who am I ..
