[00:14.56]I was just a boy when I sat down
[00:16.61]To watch the news on TV
[00:18.91]
[00:21.66]I saw some ordinary slaughter
[00:22.92]I saw some routine atrocity
[00:26.66]
[00:28.46]My father said don't look away
[00:29.90]You got to be strong you got to be bold now
[00:33.27]
[00:35.33]He said that in the end it is beauty
[00:37.32]That is going to save the world now
[00:40.26]
[00:43.19]And she moves among the sparrows
[00:47.14]
[00:49.96]And she floats upon the breeze
[00:53.95]
[00:56.88]She moves among the flowers
[01:00.94]
[01:03.81]She moves something deep inside of me
[01:08.38]
[01:09.88]I was walking around the flower show like a leper
[01:12.69]Coming down with some kind of nervous hysteria
[01:16.73]When I saw you standing there green eyes black hair
[01:19.23]Up against the pink and purple wisteria
[01:22.41]
[01:23.48]You said hey nature boy are you looking at me
[01:25.60]With some unrighteous intention
[01:28.66]
[01:30.47]My knees went weak
[01:31.41]I couldn't speak I was having thoughts
[01:33.14]That were not in my best interests to mention
[01:36.21]
[01:38.21]And she moves among the flowers
[01:42.27]
[01:45.07]And she floats upon the smoke
[01:48.75]
[01:52.06]She moves among the shadows
[01:55.87]
[01:58.93]She moves me with just one little look
[02:03.48]
[02:05.04]You took me back to your place
[02:06.60]And dressed me up in a deep sea diver's suit
[02:10.22]
[02:11.72]You played the patriot you raised the flag
[02:14.77]And I stood at full salute
[02:17.27]
[02:18.71]Later on we smoked a pipe that struck me dumb
[02:21.76]And made it impossible to speak
[02:25.44]As you closed in in slow motion
[02:27.44]Quoting Sappho in the original Greek
[02:31.04]
[02:33.35]She moves among the shadows
[02:37.53]
[02:40.15]She floats upon the breeze
[02:44.08]
[02:47.09]She moves among the candles
[02:50.98]
[02:53.72]And we moved through the days
[02:56.84]And through the years
[02:59.03]
[03:00.15]Years passed by we were walking by the sea
[03:02.64]Half delirious
[03:04.52]
[03:06.96]You smiled at me and said Babe
[03:08.95]I think this thing is getting kind of serious
[03:13.20]
[03:13.88]You pointed at something and said
[03:15.57]Have you ever seen such a beautiful thing
[03:19.75]
[03:20.87]It was then that I broke down
[03:22.93]It was then that you lifted me up again
[03:26.18]
[03:28.55]She moves among the sparrows
[03:32.73]
[03:35.66]And she walks across the sea
[03:39.41]
[03:42.59]She moves among the flowers
[03:46.39]
[03:49.39]And she moves something deep inside of me
[03:54.07]
[03:56.38]She moves among the sparrows
[04:00.25]
[04:03.25]And she floats upon the breeze
[04:07.30]
[04:10.30]She moves among the flowers
[04:14.10]
[04:17.22]And she moves right up close to me
