Legend of a Girl Child Linda lyrics

I will bring you gold apples
And grapes made of rubies
That have shone in the eyes of
A prince of the breeze Bright cascading crystals
They danced in the sand dunes
On the beach of no footprints
To harpsichord tunesA throne of white ivory
A gown of white lace
Lies still in the magic
Of a timeless placeOne hundred small children
They laugh at the white doves
That rest on their hands
With the touch of loveOn a hillside of velvet
The children they lay down
And make fun of the grown-ups
With their silly frownAnd the sound of their laughter
Is the sound of the green sea
As it washed around the foot of
The seashell treeThe doves circled over
And land in the trees
Where parrots are talking
Their words with such easeThus spoke three wizards
To the young ones that day:
“There’s sadness in the kingdom
Make it go far awayIf you follow the sunbeams
Through the valley of flowers
To the palace of the White Queen
With its white jade towers.”The youngest, she sighed and
The clouds drew away
And a hundred small fingers
Scratched their heads in dismayFrom out of the sun a
Giant gull came flying
And the children got ready
To sit on its wingThey waved to the raindrops
As they soared o'er the trees
The wind tossed their hair high
Flashing gold on the seaThey came to the castle
And there they did fall
And they saw all the sadness
Through the crystal wallA princess lay a-sleeping
So gentle and kind
Whilst her prince took to battle
With his confused mindThe clash of bright metal
Brought the children fear
But their cloaks of blue satin
Dried up all of his tearsThus children held hands and
They spelled out her name
All the golden children
Became a golden chainIt lies on a white throne
In a magic place
With a tunic of velvet
And a gown of white laceMy sword, it lies broken
And cast in a lake
In the dream I was told that
My princess would wake
