michael carpenter and the banks brothers & zane banks - alabaster maiden lyrics

[verse 1]
with a mind so sharp it could cut you in two
nothing unseen with those opals of blue
your big city taste, quaint country charm
sweetest smile and a heart so warm
your education was steeped in tradition
many times you were accused of sedition
free of spirit in plenitude
you contain multitudes

[verse 2]
hold your tongue you’ve heard them say
challenger of the patriarchal way
dare to dream, they’ll clip your wings
time you left this parochial scene
a turbulent journey from the badlands
riven from a life you couldn’t stand
your world was broken by a raging sea
all this grief brought you to me
[verse 3]
an alabaster maiden in a streetlight
you knew that you had caught my sight
draped in black and nonchalant
never were you one to vaunt
in galleries and bars, we played it cool
we weren’t going to follow rules
bit by bit, i saw your valour
i was enveloped by your bower

[verse 4]
by a crystal loch in bonnie alba
i gave a ring to my caledonian flower
with gratitude, i did sigh
when in fraser land, my love said “aye”
just as st. peter cured the lame
your love for me has done the same
through all life’s trials and worldly gloom
you’ll always be my shining moon
