Patrick Sky - A Girl I Once Did Own текст песни

A girl I once did own has took her things and gone
Left me without word and without warning
And the vision that she drew is hidden from the view
Of her friends who ask me when is she returning

Where she is is where she's found, in some long deserted town
In the mountains where the trees are softly humming
She is gone forever banned under bridges silent spans
Where the river's strings can soothe her with their strumming

If only I could touch and tell her of the time
And the hours I have spent in endless wonder
As the thoughts flow through my mind
It's seldom I can find, a friend to break the spell that I am under

And I find myself possessed by an empty restlessness
And a voice I cannot touch, I cannot name
Keeps saying to mind, you're falling way behind
There's nothing here, there's nothing more to gain

Now, if only I could say to that girl that went away
There really is no need in my demanding
So, just turn to your task, and all that I ask
Is to speak when we meet and meet me standing

And to live in our own time is to remain as we are
The past is just a mask and nothing more
Your mind is all you own, and the rest is all unknown
Just a stone adrift upon a pebbled shore
