Lyrics
PAVANNE
Words & Music: Powers McElhone
I NEVER SAW HIS FACE...
I NEVER KNEW HIS NAME...
BUT HE WAS HERE AND LOVED ME ALL THE SAME
AND I REMEMBER DREAMING, "THIS IS WRONG"
BEFORE THE TUMBLING CLOUD SWEPT ME ALONG
THERE WAS NO MOON AT ALL...
AND HE SAID NOT A WORD...
BUT IN THE DARK THERE SANG A MOCKINGBIRD
I WONDER WHO COULD PLAY SO CRUEL A GAME
OR IF THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS HIMSELF CAME
