lyrics

Fiona
It was summer, I was 17, I climbed into my black machine , started rolling, to meet her
On the radio Leonard Cohen playin', in the back seat my guitar was layin', in the sunlight

Emerald eyes and golden skin, laughter like a bouquet of begonias
Forest fairy, water sprite, I prayed for her each day and night Fiona

Sands of time, flowing by....
If I could save a single grain, I'd keep this one enchanted day as mine

We were sipping dandelion wine, the dancing flames us hypnotized, bejewled us
In my heart a holy song was ringing, the same a nightengale was singing, Hallelujah

On a lakeside beach of trees and stars, I held you closely in my arms, in the moonlight
Venus burning overhead, the winds of heavan around us swept like a warm light

Sands of time, flowing by....
If I could save a single grain, I'd keep this one enchanted day as mine

Angels, surround us.....
Your soft skin, like satin....

That was long ago, and far away, many moons ‘ve since waxed and waned, in the night sky
But as a magic lantern lights the way, my mind forever finds your name, Fiona

Emerald eyes and golden skin, laughter like a bouquet of begonias
Forest fairy, water sprite, I prayed for her each day and night Fiona

Sands of time, flowing by....
If I could save a single grain, I'd kiss you for that one eternal night
