Lyrics for Pacidy (BBC Nightride 1970)

Pacidy, my love Glowing ember of evening Your eyes are frozen with guilt I read my fate on your cheeks The smouldering coals of a passion Once a meadow of hope Days of minstrels and bright steeds Autumn nights and silk sheets Your tender battle shed over me Scented lavender kisses Soft and warm, the union of strength In a love against life Love against life Pacidy, my love Your touch, so limp, was once frenzied Your ragged lips were once sweet A life has slipped through my hands My spirits sift in a stale sigh Did love exist as a dream? Mother fawn of a pine wood Shepherdess of my grief Veils, a freedom not for me Far beyond the steep ridge Where blizzards lash the spirit of man The frailest of beasts Frailest of beasts Where blizzards lash the spirit of man The frailest of beasts Frailest of beasts Where blizzards lash the spirit of man The frailest of beasts Frailest of beasts!
