Calico Lady

(S. Goodwin/R. Furay/J. Messina)
Silken-soft she rises from the dawn, child of spring
Ive known her, oh, for so long
Creature of the earth but never to be wed
Shes far too high for mortals bed
So touch her now and love her while you can
Soon shell travel on and join the wind
Often shell be there as you are falling through your eyes
Revisiting some place in the past
And she leads you softly to the limits of a world
But youll only see her face in a glass
Staring back with eyes that cannot see you
And yet you wish that yours were just as good
So touch her now and love her while you can
Soon shell travel on and join the wind
Soon shell travel on and join the wind
Soon shell travel on and join the wind
