What to do Madeleine
Sigh or reach Madeleine
What to be Madeleine
Sky or tree Madeleine
Ooh Madeleine
She's wooing the rain
And changing the names
Of everything
What's in your hand Madeleine?
Much more than you know little darling
Cup your ear towards the window
The owl he hoots in the night
He says, "Who's Madeleine?"
A flickering flame
Rivaling the light from all the stars
She's on the ridge in the dusk
Which way will she go?
Down to the field of rusteds
She stands so still in the breeze
You stand so still my love
With all your might
Where do you go my love
With your eyes shut tight?
There's a swirl at your feet
The leaves they scamper and chide
They say, "Who's Madeleine?"
A flickering flame
Drying the tears of heaven
