[Chris De Burgh - The Girl With April In Her Eyes lyrics]
There once was a king, who called for the spring
For his world was still covered in snow
But the spring had not been, for he was wicked and mean
In his winter-fields nothing would grow
And when a traveller called seeking help at the door
Only food and a bed for the night
He ordered his slave to turn her away
The girl with April in her eyes
Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes
Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow
Hi, hi, hi, on and on she rides
Someone help the girl with April in her eyes
She rode through the night till she came to the light
Of a humble man's home in the woods
He brought her inside, by the firelight she died
And he buried her gently and good
Oh the morning was bright, all the world was snow-white
But when he came to the place where she lay
His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave
Of the girl with April in her eyes
Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes
Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow
Hi, hi, hi, on and on she flies
She is gone, the girl with April in her eyes
For his world was still covered in snow
But the spring had not been, for he was wicked and mean
In his winter-fields nothing would grow
And when a traveller called seeking help at the door
Only food and a bed for the night
He ordered his slave to turn her away
The girl with April in her eyes
Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes
Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow
Hi, hi, hi, on and on she rides
Someone help the girl with April in her eyes
She rode through the night till she came to the light
Of a humble man's home in the woods
He brought her inside, by the firelight she died
And he buried her gently and good
Oh the morning was bright, all the world was snow-white
But when he came to the place where she lay
His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave
Of the girl with April in her eyes
Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes
Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow
Hi, hi, hi, on and on she flies
She is gone, the girl with April in her eyes
