Lyrics Joan Baez – Turquoise

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 fly — my precious — you might fall down

In the pastel skies — the 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
