[00:07.12]When I was a little girl
[00:11.67]Younger than nine or ten
[00:17.82]I once spoke to
[00:19.68]the silver lady
[00:22.37]But I never saw
[00:25.02]her again again
[00:33.67]To me she flew out of the sky
[00:38.82]She was born
[00:40.57]riding on the water
[00:44.62]Her hair blew
[00:47.27]all around her
[00:49.47]She was the crazy
[00:51.12]man's only daughter
[00:55.93]I used to see her every day
[01:01.38]Riding her golden pony
[01:07.38]Only once did
[01:09.53]I hear her laugh
[01:11.85]And it echoed far and lonely
[01:19.00]Once I watched the river run
[01:23.00]And I wandered
[01:24.55]too far from home
[01:30.10]There I met the silver lady
[01:34.18]She was crying
[01:36.48]all alone alone
[01:45.48]I said 'lady
[01:47.68]why are you crying
[01:50.89]If I had wings like you
[01:56.24]I would be flying
[01:58.34]over this river
[02:02.14]And singing like
[02:04.01]only birds do
[02:07.52]Well she threw back her
[02:09.07]head and she smiled at me
[02:13.22]Her tears how they
[02:15.17]shone in the sun
[02:18.52]She said 'I have
[02:20.22]no wings to fly with
[02:23.92]If I did I would
[02:25.82]surely be gone
[02:29.47]Cuz'my brothers have
[02:31.92]all gone far away
[02:35.37]To follow their
[02:36.92]hearts and be free
[02:40.92]But I am the youngest
[02:43.47]and my father is ageing
[02:46.52]And all he's got
[02:48.47]left is me is me
[02:57.88]I love my father dearly
[03:03.33]Madman though he may be
[03:08.18]And it would break
[03:09.88]his heart if I
[03:11.06]should leave him
[03:14.12]But this life is killing me
[03:19.87]I feel the ocean
[03:22.72]pulling me
[03:25.22]The breezes come and
[03:27.17]tell me things
[03:30.62]And I want to go with
[03:32.82]them wherever they go
[03:36.32]And see what the new
[03:38.89]morning brings
[03:41.54]And she sadly turned
[03:44.84]away from me
[03:46.94]And I wondered my way
[03:49.69]back home
[03:52.99]The next day I heard
[03:55.19]she had taken her horse
[03:58.55]And gone off to parts
[04:00.50]unknown unknown
[04:09.90]Her father stayed
[04:11.25]inside his lonely house
[04:14.80]He never more came
[04:17.25]into town
[04:20.00]He could be seen
[04:21.75]roaming the riverside
[04:25.95]They say that he
[04:27.70]jumped in and drowned
[04:31.75]Long though I waited
[04:34.60]she never returned
[04:37.50]When I felt a silver breeze
[04:43.02]I knew she had sent
[04:44.72]it from wherever she was
[04:48.27]To tell us that
[04:51.29]now she was free
