The Girl With April In Her Eyes - Chris de Burgh
There once was a king who called for the spring
For his world was still covered with snow
But the spring had not been for he was wicked and mean
In his winter fields nothing would grow
And when a traveller called, seeking help at the door
Only food and a bed for a night
He ordered his slave to turn her away
The girl with April in her eyes
Chorus :
Ah, autumn does she go
Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow
High, autumn does she rise
Someone help the girl with April in her eyes
2nd verse :
She rode through the night till she came to the light Of a humble man's home in the wood He brought her inside, by the firelight she died And he buried her gently and good Oh, the morning was bright, all the world snow white But when he came to the place where she lay His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave Of the girl with April in her eyes
