What is she looking for
pacing on the chasm's edge
like a craving tiger
with insatiable eyes

Let the eastern wind
play with her hair
let the wind from the south
kiss her mouth

Cause she can't hear the daisies
though they're trying to tell her
and the butterfly
doesn't catch her eye

He was searching for her
and he was so tired
of the wind of the west
as he lay down to rest

There was no one around
so he told the daisies
no one saw him cry
only a butterfly

When the north wind came
he resolved to go
but he made a pledge
on the chasm's edge

Every time she comes
there is only wind
he was here just minutes ago
but she doesn't know
