Kayak - Daphne (Laurel Tree) lyrics

Hope and fear Left her colorless face without mirth Sweet Daphne, the priestess of Old Mother Earth Saw a stranger coming near Full of pride Still mighty Apollo desired The God of all Arts gently playing his lyre Needs a nymph to guard his night Safe and sound Daphne lived in the mountains, protecting the ground A wild virgin girl In a heavenly world Breaking Apollo’s heart Whatever happens, her goddess will ward... Chasing his love through the mountains and hills Slave of a world full of pa**ionate thrills Dreaming of being embraced by her arms Could not resist all her magical charms But meaning no harm Please don’t forsake me in hours of need Fallen a victim to Apollo’s greed Goddess of Earth, she cried so desperately If I can’t escape won’t you please let me be A wild laurel tree Sacred tree Oh to worship, to cherish and always be near thee Your leaves will serve To those with the urge To give beauty to words...
