I was just a boy when I sat down
To watch the news on TV

I saw some ordinary slaughter
I saw some routine atrocity

My father said don't look away
You got to be strong you got to be bold now

He said that in the end it is beauty
That is going to save the world now

And she moves among the sparrows

And she floats upon the breeze

She moves among the flowers

She moves something deep inside of me

I was walking around the flower show like a leper
Coming down with some kind of nervous hysteria

When I saw you standing there green eyes black hair
Up against the pink and purple wisteria

You said hey nature boy are you looking at me
With some unrighteous intention

My knees went weak
I couldn't speak I was having thoughts
That were not in my best interests to mention

And she moves among the flowers

And she floats upon the smoke

She moves among the shadows

She moves me with just one little look

You took me back to your place
And dressed me up in a deep sea diver's suit

You played the patriot you raised the flag
And I stood at full salute

Later on we smoked a pipe that struck me dumb
And made it impossible to speak

As you closed in in slow motion
Quoting Sappho in the original Greek

She moves among the shadows

She floats upon the breeze

She moves among the candles

And we moved through the days
And through the years

Years passed by we were walking by the sea
Half delirious

You smiled at me and said Babe
I think this thing is getting kind of serious

You pointed at something and said
Have you ever seen such a beautiful thing

It was then that I broke down
It was then that you lifted me up again

She moves among the sparrows

And she walks across the sea

She moves among the flowers

And she moves something deep inside of me

She moves among the sparrows

And she floats upon the breeze

She moves among the flowers

And she moves right up close to me
