Lyrics
I was just a boy when I sat down to watch the news on the TV
I saw some ordinary slaughter, I saw some routine atrocity
My father said, "Don't look away, you've
Got to be strong, you've got to be bold now"
He said, "In the imminent is beauty that is gonna save the world now"
And she moves among the sparrows
And she floats upon the breeze
And she moves among the flowers
And she moves something deep inside of me
I was walking 'round the flower show like a lemon
Coming down with some kind of nervous hysteria
I saw you standing there, green eyes, black
Hair up against the pink and purple wisteria
You said, "Hey nature boy, you're looking
At me with some unrighteous intention"
My knees went weak, I couldn't speak, I was having
Thoughts that were not in my best sense's dimension
And she moves among the flowers
And she floats upon the smoke
And she moves among the shadows
And she moves me with just one little look
You took me back to your place, you
Dressed me up in a deep sea diver's suit
You played the patriot, you raised the flag and I stood at full salute
Later on you smoked a pipe, struck me
Dumb and made it impossible to speak
And you posed in a slow motion quote from Sappho in the original Greek
And she moves among the shadows
And she floats upon the breeze
And she moves among the candles
And we moved through the days and through the years
Years passed by, we were walking by the sea, half delirious
You smiled at me and said, "Babe, I think
This thing is getting kind of serious"
You pointed at something and said, "
Have you ever seen such a beautiful thing?"
And it was then that I broke down and
It was then that you lifted me up again
And she moves among the sparrows
And she walks across the sea
And she moves among the flowers
And she moves something deep inside of me
And she moves among the sparrows
And she floats upon the breeze
And she moves among the flowers
And she moves right up close to me
