Turquoise - Joan Baez

Your smile beams like sunlight on a gull’s wing

And the leaves dance and play after you

Take my hand and hold it as you would a flower

Take care with my heart, oh darling, she’s made of glass

Your eyes feel like silence resting on me

And the birds cease to sing when you rise

Ride easy your fairy stallion you have mounted

Take care how you ride, my precious, you might fall down

In the pastel skies a sunset I have wandered

With my eyes and ears and heart stRained to the full

I know I tasted the essence in the few days

Take care who you love, my precious, he might not know
