A gardener's daughter stopped me on my way on the day I was to wed,
Her silver hair flowed in the air laying waves across the sun
And there we laid, cool in the shade, singing songs and making love,
The wedding took place and people came from many miles around.
A year had passed and everything was just as it was a year before.
As years went by, the boy grew high and the village looked on in awe.
"It is you who I wish to share my body with", she said,
Her hands were like the white sands, and her eyes had Diamonds on.
With the naked Earth beneath us, and the universe above.
There was plenty merriment, cider and wine abound.
Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door.
They’d never seen anything like the boy with a Moon and Star before.
"We'll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed,
We left the road and headed up to the top of the Whisper Wood,
The time was late, my wedding wouldn’t wait, I was sad but I had to go.
But out of all that I recall, I remember the girl I met.
And in there lay the fairest little baby crying to be fed.
And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the Word He spread
And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and star...on his head."
And we walked till we came to where the holy mag-nolia stood.
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheerio.
‘Cause she had given me something that my heart could not forget.
I got down on my knees and kissed the Moon and Star on His head.
I’ll tell you everything I’ve learned, and “Love” is all …… he said.
