Although I could not keep her as my lover
I'm happy that she was.
And tho I know I'll never get her in my power
She is, somehow, because
She's the one I can't forget,
The one I still long for:
She's a pristine holy priestess,
She's a golden-hearted whore,
She's an archetypal fantasy,
She's just some lady whom I know.
But please do not confuse me now
By asking what is real;
I can't help what I feel.
And I know I'll have to settle for some real girl,
One who will not be like her,
But tho I try to return to the real world
I spin in where we were
She's the one I can't forget
The one the world is worth,
She's a famous fairy princess'
She's the mother of the earth.
She's just somebody special,
One more accident of birth.
Perhaps I should forget her
And let the damage heal
And not feel what I feel.
But all I've got to give her is the promise
That I will not forget what she was like
And as long as I remember that about her
I'll always have her with me in the night.
And I could say it is you who are all women,
But you know well all women will not do,
Yet can I deny the passion of the moment
When I know well all women are only you.
You're the one I can't forget
The one I can't replace
That missing other part of me
You're the daughter of the race,
You're just another god, like me,
And I worship at your face.
But all that really matters now
Is that you know it's real--
I do feel what I feel.
