She was beauty
She was a belle
She was something to behold
So gather ’round me
And listen well
For this story must be told
Hand-in-hand across the sky
Hounds snapping at their heels
Love of loves and how it feels
She was the shadowy
And he was the steal
She was all womankind
And he was learning to kneel
At the foot of the mountain
At the roots of mankind
At the breath of this frozen child
Lost in space and time
Oh, where are you now, my sweet love?
Where are you now, my pain?
Where are you now, my sweet love?
Where are you now, my love Lorraine?
She had a husband
An ordinary man
But she saw him as an Arab dancing on
the desert floor
But he could not understand
This web of fantasy
So she danced for him no more
She came down from the sky
But lost her mind on high
Love of loves and how it feels
She was the shadowy
And he was the steal
She was all womankind
And he was learning to kneel
At the foot of the mountain
At the roots of mankind
At the breath of this frozen child
Lost in space and time
Oh, where are you now, my sweet love?
Where are you now, my pain?
Where are you now, my sweet love?
Where are you now, my love Lorraine?
I found her and I lost her
I may never rest again
If I can’t make that woman she
My lover and my friend
Oh, where are you now, my sweet love?
Where are you now, my pain?
Where are you now, my sweet love?
Where are you now, my love Lorraine?
