Eyes could not see what the mind would not let it Yet the ears heard something, the soul would not forget it And I stood amongst the sheer multitude And all I saw was walking dust until I heard you
Your voice resonated with words not meant for me A dress of tulip yellow walking through a greyish sea And eyes glimpsed only this but ears focused upon her talking A sultry ship of melodies in a ocean of dust walking
On and on I searched amongst the colorless and dreary Until my eyes were red from searching, weak and weary And I tried as I could to visualize, but my mind just would not let it The tulip with a melodious voice, and my soul which would not forget it
