lyrics

The Shimmering Sheen
(Words & Music by Winter)

V1
The queen she longed to see
The waters, sail the sea
And on her journey be
Unrecognized as she

Ch
The water’s shimmering sheen
It seemed a dazzling scheme
All that she could have been
She would know with a dream
She was not as she seemed

V2
I did follow her down to the water alone
Both she and it shone
In a hollow of stone lay a boat on the foam
Then she was in it and gone

Ch
The water’s shimmering sheen
It seemed a dazzling scheme
And the wind blowing keen
All that she cold have been
She would know with a dream
She was not as she seemed

V3
She had lived on this ground
Without love having found
And water surround
And a life without love
Wasn’t worth her renown
Thus had she found

V4
So she took to the sea, abandoned all fear
To make the far near
It was the one way to be to find her a peer
That was made clear

Ch
