And then there came a stranger - call her Highland Grace A rearranger I'd been searching in the mirror, but seeing my own face didn't make it any clearer I'd rage against the hard times while others smiled to say, "Hey, take it easy." And lo, this little angel was standing in the rain Oh, just what I needed Ain't that just like a Saturday child? Bound for Avalon with the birds 'round her head She loves with the love of a gentle child I was a fool of the rule before I met her Good morning, Matokie Tell me about those great expectations When I set the river on fire You laughed in my face
When things got dire Yea, and sleep went to slaughter I saw you drift away, farther and farther My eyes pinned like diamonds, head of smoke for days I loved you Little liar Ain't that just like a Saturday child? Bound for Avalon with the birds 'round her head She loves with the love of a gentle child Hey, fool of the rule Not everything's for sale And if you can't buy it And you stand and deny it And if you can't see it And you refuse to believe it And if you can't count it And you can't help but doubt it But loving her way easy The easiest thing in the world
