She

She was like the snowbird
That comes to peck the crumbs
And when you spread your hand so quickly flies
A little like the evening
A whole lot like the night
And every night at suppertime
I'd celebrate her eyes

She was like the rainbow
You find hard to believe
Changing woods and faces all the time
A little like the morning
A whole lot like the day
And every day I'd thank the sunny skies
She was mine

She could cry and make you feel ashamed
Yet you'd have to burst with pride
Because she shared your name

She, she was like the willow
That stands below the hill
And calls no man her master but the day
A little like a woman
God knows she was like a child
As children do she changed her mind
And one day she went away
