Alabaster Lady

Alabaster Lady I have always wanted to be a girl like you Long of leg and seeing the world the way you do But you're in tiny golden chains Somehow I think you know it don't make sense for you To let your wings be held by someone Who's too intense for you Alabaster Lady You are such a sweet and sensual spirit There's a joy within him singing And he loves you 'cause he knows that you can hear it Still the child within remains And though he knows that you have pains to talk about He sees your soul as you walk about And doesn't dare to let himself get near it You're so very young Your life is just beginning Your consciousness begun Like a sleepy child awakening As you reach out for me With confidence still to come Can you teach me to be free Of my fear of being struck down by the pendulum Alabaster Lady As you weave a web of love with azure flowers The early morning hours Bring to you the misty light of dawn And he, knowing you'll be gone, only tries To hold you closer to him If you only knew your powers You could save him You could save him by just saying, No sir to him Come on, Alabaster Lady You say that you love him just be yourself You can save him if you try Come on Alabaster Lady Ya know just where you're goin' Keep on growin' And let yourself just fly Come on, Alabaster Lady Come on now, Alabaster Lady --- Alabaster Lady - Carole King
