Rhymes and Reasons

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 road around her shoulders 
 Hiding tantalizing 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 wide red roses 
 With a lace of forest green 


 And she wraps her arms around me and she sighs 
 And she sings 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
