Sylvia by John Phillips (Zimbabwe) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I give to you a single rose I plucked where the moonlight grows
Oh Sylvia, would that we were flowers
Upon the day that had no name we talked along till evening came
Oh Sylvia, our minutes were not ours

[Chorus]
And the lady of the forest is still here
And no one will come near
No one will come near

[Verse 2]
Your crystal ball is glistening, I am here and listening
Oh Sylvia, whatever shall we see
And when the world is far away, what shall we begin to play
Oh Sylvia, the courting of the bee

[Chorus]
And the lady of the forest is still here
And no one will come near
No one will come near
[Verse 3]
The Drums in the valley call, attempt to judge(?), she'll never fall
Oh' Sylvia, not while you are here
Hidden in a hawthorn hedge, sitting on a window ledge
Oh Sylvia , why must you disappear

[Chorus]
And the lady of the forest is still here
And no one will come near
No one will come near
