Isabel is waiting
In a room of many shadows
Her eyes like flashing diamonds

Shining brightly from the sea
Her hair in silken tresses
Like a robe around her shoulders

Hiding tantalising treasures
That the sun has never seen


Isabel is watching
Like a princess from the mountains
For the first soft snows of winter

And the icy winds they bring
With a whisper of her sadness
In the passing of the summer

Her crown is wild red roses
With a lace of forest green


And she wraps her arms around me and she sighs
And she sing to me in silence with her eyes
And her hair upon my pillow comforts me


Isabel is weeping
And her eyes are full of wonder

She knows that it's the time for her
And she cannot understand
She's a mistress of the moonlight

To the stars she is a sister
And the morning now awaits her
To betray her once again


And she whispers as she sadly slips away
Then she smiles because there's nothing left to say

And she takes with her the sadness and the sun
