00:18When I was a girl
00:20I had a favorite story
00:24Of the meadow lark
00:25Who lived where the rivers whined
00:29Her voice could match the angels in its glory
00:34But she was blind
00:38The lark was blind
00:40An old king came and took her to his palace
00:45Where the walls were burnished bronze and gold and braid
00:50And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice
00:54And he prayed
01:00Sing for me
01:02My meadow lark
01:06Sing for me
01:08Of the silver morning
01:10Set me free
01:13My meadow lark
01:16And I'll buy you a priceless jewel
01:19And a clothe of brocade and cruel
01:21And I'll love you for life
01:23If you will
01:24Sing for me
01:34Then one day
01:35As the lark sang by the water
01:39The god of the sun heard her in his flight
01:44And her singing moved him
01:46So he came and brought her
01:48The gift of sight
01:51He gave her sight
01:53And she opened her eyes
01:55To the shimmer and the splendor
01:57Of this beautiful young man
02:00So proud and strong
02:03And he called to the lark
02:05In a voice
02:05Both rough and tender
02:07Come along
02:09Come along
02:12Fly with me
02:14My meadow lark
02:17Fly with me
02:19On the silver morning
02:21Past the sea
02:24Where the dolphins bark
02:26We will dance on the coral beaches
02:29Make a feast of the plums and peaches
02:32Just as far as your vision reaches
02:34Fly with me
02:39But the meadow lark said no
02:42For the old king loved her so
02:45She couldn't bear to wound his pride
02:49So the sun god flew away
02:51And when the king came down that day
02:55He found the meadow lark had died
03:00Every time I heard that part
03:02I cried
03:06And now I stand here
03:09Starry-eyed and stormy
03:11Oh, just when I thought my heart was finally numb
03:15A beautiful young man appears before me
03:21Saying come
03:24Oh, won't you come?
03:26And what can I do if finally for the first time
03:30The one I'm burning for returns the glow
03:35If love has come at last
03:38It's picked the worst time
03:40Still I know
03:43I've got to go
03:44I've got to go
03:45Fly away
03:48Meadow lark
03:49Fly away
03:51On the silver morning
03:54If I stay
03:56I'll grow to curse the dark
03:59So it's off where the days won't find me
04:02I know I'll leave wounds behind me
04:04But I won't let tomorrow find me
04:07Back this way
04:11Before my past once again
04:15Can blind me
04:22Fly away
04:27Fly away
04:32And we won't wait
04:34To say goodbye
04:38My beautiful young man
04:45You're a young man
04:46And I
04:49And I
04:50And I
04:50And I
04:56And I
04:59And I
