Sylvia Lyrics

Who is Sylvia

What is she

That all our songs and cries and lullabies

Cannot reach her

Holy fair and wise is she

The color of her eyes is me

Such a sweet surprise it'd be

to meet her

But is she as kind as she is fair

When we turn her all to air

O Sylvia

I'm too green to know your name

O Sylvia Sylvia Sylvia

To her let us garlands bring

Who is Sylvia

Where'd she go

All the trees I ask never seem to know

One said yesterday she walked away

I think she felt a little gray

I'd say it'd be a while until you see her

But if we find that she don't care

About that break we won't repair

O Sylvia

Will ya give me one more chance

I didn't mean to kill ya

We were all in a trance

Nature's perfect lover

Is this how we treat each other

Stonewalling bricklaying lies

Blindness in disguise

O why why my kind ever climbed

Down from your gentle mind

What did we hope to find down here

I fear

You're never coming back

Never coming back

Never coming back

Please come back

Then to Sylvia

Let us sing

That she excels in each and every mortal thing

She's got every right to say

Come again some other day

How can I begin to pay what's owed her

But she's as kind as she is fair

And I know that she's right there

O Sylvia

Then to Sylvia let us sing

Let us sing let us sing

To her let us garlands bring
