She Came and She Touched Me Lyrics by Townes Van Zandt

She Came and She Touched Me Lyrics

    Well she came and she touched me
    With hands made of heaven
    Reflections sent spinning
    Through a face laced in mist

    Now I stand where she left me
    Buried deep 'neath her shadows
    and the mirror plead sadly
    "Has it all come to this?"
    And I wonder
    Will she call
    My naaaame?

    Well the wind careens madly
    Through wide windows paneless
    And frangrances mingle
    In a room full of shade

    And all the peons pick partners
    And waltz cross the ceilings
    But the violins whisper
    That I've been betrayed
    Awe trying
    Not to look
    Ashaaaamed

    And the drunkards drink deeply
    From cups full of nothingness
    And ghost lovers laugh
    At the games that they play

    And the moments do sommersaults
    Into eternity
    And cling to their coattails
    And beg them to stay
    Saying
    I got nothing
    To Hiiiide

    Well illusions projected
    On walls made of tiffany
    And mad minuets
    To a sad satin song

    And harlequin mandolins
    Harmonize helplessly
    Hoping that endlessly
    Won't last for long
    Praying
    That their gods
    Ain't dyyyying

    Then I turn and I see her
    In a dress made of moonlight
    Teardrops like diamonds
    Run slow down her face

    And her arms they surround me
    Like chains made of velvet
    And demons fall faithfully
    Into their place
    And the river
    Runs
    With jeeeewels

    Now the morning lies open
    The night went quite quickly
    And memory harmlessly
    Fractures and fades

    And all the poets do pushups
    On carpets of rubber foam
    And loudly they laugh
    At some joke that's been made
    And the wisemen
    Speak
    Like Fooools
