Buffy Sainte-Marie

 

You're not a dream

You're not an angel

You're a man

I'm not a queen

I'm a woman

Take my hand

We'll make a space

In the lives that we planned

And here we'll stay

Until it's time for you to go.

 

Yes, we're different worlds apart

We're not the same

We laughed and played

At the start like in a game

You could have stayed

Outside my heart

But in you came

And here you'll stay

Until it's time for you to go.

 

Don't ask why

Don't ask how

Don't ask forever

Love me now.

 

This love of mine

Had no beginning

It has no end

I was an oak

Now I'm a willow

Now I can bend

And though I'll never

In my life see you again

Still I'll stay

Until it's time for you to go.
