D G D
A lonely young wife in her dreaming discerns
A
A lily decked pool with a border of ferns
D G D
And a beautiful child with butterfly wings
A D
Drifts down to the edge of the water and sings
D G D
Come mama, come, quick follow me
A D
Step out on the leaves of the water lily
D G D
And the lonely young wife, her heart beating wild
A
Cries wait till I come, till I reach you my child
D G D
But the beautiful child with butterfly wings
A D
Steps out on the leaves of the lily and sings
D G D
And the wife in her dreaming steps out on the stream
A
But the lily leaves sink and she wakes from her dream
D G D
Oh the waking is sad, for the tears that it brings
A D
And she knows its her dead baby's spirit that sings
