White Queen (as It Began) Lyrics

White Queen (as It Began)

Words and music by Brian May

So sad her eyes smiling dark eyes
So sad
her eyes as it began
On such a breathless night as this
Upon my brow the
lightest kiss
I walked alone
And all around the air did sway
My lady
soon will stir this way
In sorrow known
The white queen walks
And the
night grows pale
Stars of lovingness in her hair
Heeding unheard pleading
one word
So sad my eyes she cannot see

How did thee fare what have
thee seen
The mother of the willow green
I call her name
And 'neath
her window have I stayed
I loved the footsteps that she made
And when she
came
White queen how my heart did ache
And dry my lips no word would
make
So still I wait

My goddess hear my darkest fear
I speak too
late
It's for evermore that I wait
Dear friend goodbye
No tears in my
eyes
So sad it ends as it began
