There was a girl from the highlands with eyes like diamonds
There's a birch by the road where we used to keep dry
She could tell you your fortune for her eyes were wide open
But nobody knows where we go when we die

There's a face in the mirror, my rage gettin' clearer
I remember her crying, the fear in her eyes
There's a man in a castle whose mind has grown fragile
From the burden of knowing what he did and why

cs the sun still burns, goes dark and returns
I know she will come back to me

Like a dog on a leash, ike a rose in a freeze
He thought he could hold her, he thought she was his
But her mind has awoken, though her body was broken
She passed thru the vale on the breath of a kiss

cs the sun still burns, goes dark and returns
I know she will come back to me
cnd if the sun burns out, if the world cries out loud
I know she will come back to me

There was a girl from the highlands with eyes like diamonds
But nobody knows where we go when we die
