Alabaster Lady

I have always wanted to be a girl like you

Long of leg and seeing the world the way you do

But you're in tiny golden chains

Somehow I think you know it don't make sense for you

To let your wings be held by someone

Who's too intense for you



Alabaster Lady

You are such a sweet and sensual spirit

There's a joy within him singing

And he loves you 'cause he knows that you can hear it

Still the child within remains

And though he knows that you have pains to talk about

He sees your soul as you walk about

And doesn't dare to let himself get near it



You're so very young

Your life is just beginning

Your consciousness begun

Like a sleepy child awakening

As you reach out for me

With confidence still to come 

Can you teach me to be free

Of my fear of being struck down by the pendulum



Alabaster Lady 

As you weave a web of love with azure flowers

The early morning hours

Bring to you the misty light of dawn

And he, knowing you'll be gone, only tries

To hold you closer to him

If you only knew your powers 

You could save him

You could save him by just saying, 

NO SIR to him



Come on, Alabaster Lady

You say that you love him--just be yourself

You can save him if you try



Come on Alabaster Lady

Y'know just where you're goin'

Keep on growin'

And let yourself just fly 



Come on, Alabaster Lady

Come on now, Alabaster Lady
