Angelsea

Cat Stevens

She moves like and angel

And seven evening stars

Dance through the window

Of her universal house

He voice a crystal echo

Lies humming in your soul

So patiently awaiting

For your ears to behold

She ripples on the water

Leaves diamonds on the shore

And fish from every distance

Watch her ocean cellar door

Her breath a warm fire

In every lovers heart

A mistress to magicians

And a dancer to the gods

And a dancer to the gods

Her clothes are made of rainbows

And twenty thousand tears

Shine through the spaces

Of her golden ochre hair

Ooh my babe I want you

and on my life I swear

My conscience will I follow you forever

If you meet me everywhere
